To measure weight, the instrument used must measure the force of an object directed into some direction (often against a near by heavy astronomical object, such as the earth, but it is also possible to use a rotating disc to measure the momentum force the object causes when there is no gravity available) and compare that with a widely accepted standard, like kilogram, the weight units themselves don't exist in nature by default but are made up by humans who then agreed to follow the same standard as a measure of comparison. Something that measures weight is by definition a weighing scale, as such it is impossible to measure a weight without one. Unless one with enough precision can be built, it has to be bought. Perhaps the easiest scale to build is something like the Steelyard but instead of a slidable counterweight, fixed nails/needles could be used with a calibrated light counterweight. A round nail in a board and a wooden/paper lever (the hole for the nail is kinda near one side) should provide low enough friction to allow accurate measurements (either widening the hole or aplying some grease might help to decrease friction if required). A ruler and the equation (F1)(D1) = (F2)(D2), where F= force and D= distance will help with setting up the scale correctly. It will require a bit of thinking and testing to get this to work. The measuring error won't be negligable either with this kind of setup, but it can be reduced by using a second lighter counterweight for a final adjustment of the balancing. S==O==L=L=L=L S = hanger for the weight to be measured, L = a hook/nail/needle to hang a counterweight at, = = the lever, O = the hole for the nail to balance the lever with
1 gram of water will occupy a volume of 1 mL or 1 cm^3. If you are measuring a different substance, you could perhaps compare it's mass to that of 1mL of water.
on scales, you can purchase scales at office depot or officemax.
Mercalli and Richter scales
No
The question, as stated, cannot be answered sensibly. A millilitre is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A gram is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information. As a simple mental exercise consider a gram of air and a gram of water. They will have very different volumes.
dry producteds and liqeds
measure the ingredients by volume
The easiest way to measure grams without a kitchen scales is to use a table spoon. A tablespoon holds approximately 15 grams of dried food, such as flour or sugar.
It should fill approximately 3 average cups.

Which unit of measure would you use to measure the mass of a grape? Write gram or kilogram
gram of sugar can be by weighing scales. hope this helps u
gram
First, measure the height, width, and length. Then guess.
You don't. A gram is a measure of weight, a gallon is a measure of volume.
You can measure a gram of yeast without a scale quite easily. Instead of a scale you can use a teaspoon. One teaspoon of yeast is equivalent to 4 grams, so simply take a teaspoon of yeast and use a knife to divide it into 4 and then you will have one gram.
With a tape measure, or scales, depending on what it is you want to measure!
A gram measures mass.
