-- Measure its mass. -- Measure its volume. -- Divide the mass by the volume. The result of the division is the object's density.
The best way to figure out the scale of an object would be first to measure the object so it would be best to get the dimensions first. That is what should be done.
One way to figure this out is to put the object in a graduated cylinder containing water and measuring the changes in the volume of the water.
The answer is volume. Volume is a measure of the amount of 3-dimensional space that an object occupies.
Take the dimensions and figure it out. Break the object into shapes that you know how to figure the volume of (rectilinear blocks, parallelipeds, tetrahedra, etc) an add the volumes together (don't forget that symmetry can help a lot so you do nto have to figure so many different pieces).
Mass is the attribute of an object that is a measure of the object's inertia. It represents the amount of matter in an object and is a measure of how much an object resists changes in its motion.
The force of gravity most affects weight, which is the measure of the gravitational force acting on an object. Height and volume are related to the physical dimensions of an object, while mass is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains.
Two dimensional object is a plane figure where as three dimensional object is solid (space) figure.
"What do you measure (when) you measure..." ? When you measure an object's temperature, you are measuring the amount of heat the object emits (gives off). There is no such thing as cold, only the absence of heat.
degrees Temperature is a measure of heat in an object.
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy per molecule in an object. It is not a measure of the total kinetic energy of all the molecules in the object.
mass, which is a measure of the amount of substance present in an object. This measure is independent of the object's location or surroundings.
