XLIV.—The Equivalence of the Gravitational and Invariant Mass of an Isolated Body at Rest*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 February 2012
Extract
Throughout the preceding discussion we have considered only those contributions to the stresses which are due to either the motion of the body or the presence of other bodies. That is, we have not considered the stresses which occur in the systems discussed by Whittaker, and we have, in effect, assumed that the gravitational mass of an isolated body at rest is the same as its invariant mass at least as terms of order m2 are concerned. In this appendix we complete the investigation by demonstrating the validity of this assumption.
