Measurement of mass



Hi friends,
There was a question I saw in a book:
The measurement of mass can be done by a beam balance, which is reliable
only if the gravitational field is uniform. A spring balance would measure
the correct weight (hence mass) if the force constant k is constant. The
question is then: is there a method to measure mass/weight which is
independent of the two assumptions described (i.e. indept of g field and k)?
