Re: Energy and Mass

When one measures mass of an object does it include measuring the energy
that the object contains? (Since mass and energy are "equivilent")
Yes--Gravitational mass includes ever bit of momentum*-energy
Suppose I have a measure the mass of a box and then I "put" some energy in
it. When I measure it will I get a different mass?
Yes--however it'll take more energy than you have laying around.
