Mar 5, 2018 at 4:02 comment added K. Kirilov Measuring rest masses would give the same result at the start and at the end, measuring the relativistic masses - wont, because the relativistic mass doesn't take in account potential energy. So it goes: mass of the whole system - unchanged; relativistic mass - reduced; rest mass - unchanged; mass stored in potential energy - increased by the amount that relativistic mass was reduced.
