Modal weight refers to the effective mass attributed to a particular mode of vibration in a dynamic system, such as a building or mechanical component. It is a crucial parameter in modal analysis, as it helps determine how that mode will respond to dynamic forces. The modal weight is calculated based on the mode shape and the distribution of mass within the system, influencing the system's dynamic behavior and stability. Understanding modal weight is essential for designing structures and systems that can adequately withstand vibrations and dynamic loads.
A book is an example of mass because mass is a measurement of how much matter is in an object.

I belive that mass media has affected our society both positively and negetively. It has programmed our thoughts,how we dress and how we relate to one another.Certain images shown on television influence kids to misbehave,disobeying parents under the impression that its cool.Disobediance leads to distruction,that leads to teenage pregnancy, drug abuse etc.On the other hand mass media can persuade young kids positively:if you tune to programmes that motivates positive force.

Mass media denotes a section of the media specifically designed to reach a very large audience such as the population of a nation state. The term was coined in the 1920s with the advent of nationwide radio networks, mass-circulation newspapers and magazines. However, some forms of mass media such as books and manuscripts had already been in use centuries. The term public media has a similar meaning: it is the sum of the public mass distributors of news and entertainment across media such as newspapers, television, radio, broadcasting, which may require union membership in some large markets such as Newspaper Guild, AFTRA, and text publishers. Mass media includes Internet media (like blogs, message boards, podcasts, and video sharing) because individuals now have a means to exposure that is comparable in scale to that previously restricted to a select group of mass media producers. The communications audience has been viewed by some commentators as forming a mass society with special characteristics, notably atomization or lack of social connections, which render it especially susceptible to the influence of modern mass-media techniques such as advertising and propaganda. The term "MSM" or "mainstream media" has been widely used in the blogosphere in discussion of the mass media and media bias.
