mass = weight ÷ gravity
Since the gravitational pull is relatively constant near the surface of the earth, you can weigh the object, then divide the weight by the gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/sec2 near the earth's surface).

Mass
What type of balance is the equipment used to measure the mass of objects?
A triple balance beam measures the mass of an object.
What can you use to measure the mass of two objects?
This comparison is very simple: measure the mass with a balance.
Why do you measure objects?
To know the mass of objects
A measure of how strongly gravity pulls on an object is the objects what?
The objects mass.
How do you find an objects density?
-- Measure its mass. -- Measure its volume. -- Divide its mass by its volume. The result is its density.
What is milligrams used to measure?

How does the mass of an objects affect inertia?
Mass is the measure of inertia and if you change the mass the inertia will change.
