If you mean a device to measure weight or force (expressed in newtons), that will measure force, not mass; but if you do that, you can get a pretty good idea about the mass, if you know the gravitational field. Near Earth, the gravitational field is approximately 9.8 newton/kilogram, so if you know the weight (in newton), just divide by 9.8 to get the mass (in kilograms).

Would a newton meter work vertically?

Yes, a Newton meter can be used vertically to measure gravitational force acting on an object. The weight of an object is the gravitational force acting on it, and a Newton meter can accurately measure this force regardless of the direction.

Which materials can you use for a 10 kilo newton force?

Anything that weighs 10 kilos. I suggest a bowling ball.A newton is an unit of force, that acts upon an object and causes the acceleration of the object. The acceleration is measured by how fast the speed of the object changes per certain unit of time. One newton is a force that accelerates an object with mass of one kilogram one meter per second.
