Now we can derive the mass of clusters from their arcs.It reflects the total mass contained in the lensing system,independent of the specific matter contents and states.Our aimis to compare the dynamical masses from hydrostatic equilibrium with the gravitational masses from arclike images of background galaxies and to estimate the difference of these two results for undestanding the mass distribution of the cluster of galaxies.To achieve this aim we will propose the observation of galaxyclusters with luminous arcs,MS1455+2232 and MS1910.5+6736.
