Create artificial mass on the place where it's connected, which allows ships to be affected by the artificial gravity. The effective mass is 2000 kg on small ships and 50000 kg on large ships, which means that the block is pulled down with the equivalent force of an object of 2000/50000 kg. Hence, if the overall mass of the ship is greater than this, it will be pulled with a slower acceleration than the actual acceleration of the gravity affecting it.
