Difference between Inertial mass and Gravitational mass.

Answer»

Inertial mass: The mass of a body which determines its inertia in translatory motion is called its inertial mass. It is measured from Newton’s second law of gravitation.

Mi = F/a

Gravitational mass: The mass of a body which determines the gravitational pull upon it due to the earth is called its gravitational mass. It is measured by using Newton’s law of gravitation.

Mg = FR2/GM
