With a really good scale, I would say.

Physically, no difference has been found between gravitational and inertial mass. Many experiments have attempted to measure a difference, but the experiments always agree to within the margin of error for the experiment that they are the same.
Einstein's General Relativity stems from the assumption that inertial mass equals gravitational mass.

For an experiment: weigh some objects here on Earth, to get gravitational mass, then weigh them in the space shuttle, using the special chair the astronauts use to find their inertial mass while in flight.

The value of a moving mass as compared to a mass just at rest sitting on the Earth was determined by experiment ,first By Newton and then Etvos.They found that there was a variation. But since the difference was so mall they concluded that there was no difference.

Einstein proved that there is a difference, He indicated (in His Special Theory of Relativity) that a mass which is given motion in the absence of Gravity is Inertial motion ,and the mass is subjected to a mass change as a function of the velocity value that the masss is moving. That means that the value of an inertial mass varies depending on the velocity it was given. Hence to cause a mass to move at greater velocities greater Power must be applied to the mass. And to cause a mass to move at relativist speed an enormous amount of power must be applied to the moving mass;such an amount of power would break up the structure of the mass into its basic components.

See both Newton's experiment and Etvos experiment and then compare the difference.
The mass difference is relative to the kinetic energy of the inertial mass (see Relativety theories).

See Einstein theory of Special Relativity and also Ricardo Carezani's Relativity theory of Autodynamics.

The Law that stipulates that there must be a difference between an Inertial mass and non- Inertial mass is called the "2nd Law of thermodynamics". This Law indicates that when ever there is an investment of energy to do work on a mass structure a certain amount of mass loss is lost to the surroundings.The mass loss is relative to a phenomenon called" Entropy".

Einstein General relativity indicates that a force is a force whether its inertial or non Inertial. However an inertial force does differ from a gravitatioal force in the Way that the motion and velocity of the force takes place.
The Ratio of a force to its mass content is called acceleration.

The statements that indicates that there is no difference between a non inertial masss and an inertial mass basically would be saying that There is a discrepency between Special Realtivity theory and General realtivity . Therfore that would mean that General relativity Principle of Equivalence would Invalidate the Principles of Special Relativity.

There isn't one.

This is the principle of equivalence, and is central to physics.

But in principle any situation where gravitational mass appears on one side and inertial on the other tests this equivalence.

For instance, in the orbit of a body:

GMm/R^2 = mv^2/R

On the left, m is gravitational mass, on the right it is inertial mass. The fact that if you assume m(grav) not equal m(inertial) you get the wrong result for the orbit is an experimental test of the equality.

In 1905, Albert Einstein published a paper titled 'Does the Inertia of a Body depend upon its energy content?' In this paper he linked mass and inertia as the later being a direct property (or inseparable property) of the first. It is not possible to measure them in isolation. Mass is a physical property of a body that is the same with or without the presence of gravity. However, gravity gives the mass its weight from F=ma or here F = mg. Thus no experiment can be conducted to separate the concepts of inertia and mass!

inertial mass is actual mass that should be of physique devoid of any gravitational rigidity at the same time as gravitational mass is the made of inertial mass and acceleration using gravitation=mg
