Let us, for the sake of simplicity, call the mass determined in the first way the inertial mass and that determined in the second way the gravitationalmass.
为简便起见,我们把用第一种方法所测定的质量叫做惯性质量,而把用第二种方法所测定的质量叫做引力质量。

Since this identity of inertial and gravitationalmass was fundamental for the formulation of the theory of relativity, we are justified in examining it a little more closely here.
因为惯性质量和引力质量的相等是阐明相对论的基本原理,我们应当在这里把它更细致地考查一番。

The astronomers found an "X-ray mass" only a tenth of the mass found using the gravitational lens method.
