Alternate way of saying "The mass of the mass"?

Question

I performed an experiment in which a mass was hung from a spring. I want to refer to the mass of the mass hung from said spring, but that leads to quite a few awkward sentences. I cannot refer to the mass as a weight, since masses and weights are two different things. Is there some alternate way of saying "The mass of the mass"?

Answer 1

Hi,

Be specific and describe exactly what you did when you performed the experiment. You can also start your description by categorizing or number the masses. For example: Mass A and Mass B.

Does this help?
