Explanation:
Gravitational mass is measured by comparing the force of gravity of an unknown mass to the force of gravity of a known mass. This is typically done with some sort of balance scale. ... Inertial mass is found by applying a known force to an unknown mass, measuring the acceleration, and applying Newton's Second Law, m = F/a.

Explanation:
Inertial mass measures an object's resistance to being accelerated by a force (represented by the relationship F = ma). Active gravitational mass measures the gravitational force exerted by an object. Passive gravitational mass measures the gravitational force exerted on an object in a known gravitational field.
