Abstract

a. The equivalence and the conceptual distinction of inertial and gravitational mass is not present in Newton’s Principia (1687). Newton discusses the properties of gravitation, and in book three, proposition six states that the quantity of matter is proportional to the weight. This proportionality is substantiated by means of a pendulum experiment.
