An investigation by G. L. Clark is found to provide exceptionally instructive illustrations of the calculation of the variously defined ‘densities’ and ‘masses’ occurring in general relativity theory and of their physical significance. In particular, the effects of motion and stress upon gravitational mass are elucidated. An explicit example shows how kinetic energy is included in the gravitational mass.
