Anything which occupies space is called 'Matter'. You can measure the quantity of any 'Matter' by measuring it's Volume ( in cubic inches, or cubic feet, or cubic Centimetre or cubic Metre etc.). You can also measure the quantity of Mass (Weight) which it has, expressed in kilogram, or gram, or tonne, or pound, or ounce, or ton etc. The word 'weight' technically is by definition, the force of gravity acting upon some 'mass'. The force of gravity is different in value at different places on our planet. Therefore a mass will have a different weight in different parts of the world. This is the reason why a world standard of a Kilogram is kept in a temperature and humidity controlled atmosphere in a special room in Paris. Very accurate copies of this kilogram are made and sold to other nations , and they then know that every kilogram in the entire world , has the same mass.

Would you use square units for a swimming pool?
No. I would use linear units if measuring the swim distance or cubic units if measuring the volume of water. Square units might be useful to see how many people could use the pool before it got crowded but that would depend on whether they were there for swimming or splashing about.
What tool do you use to measure a rock?
If measuring weight - use a scaleIf measuring mass - use a balance in units of grams or kilograms.If measuring size (L x W x H) - Use a ruler/tape measureIf measuring volume - use a graduated cylinder.
