To measure mass, you typically use a balance, either electronic or manual.
>
Mass is the amount of matter something contains
At the earths surface, mass = weight (force), so scales or spring balance are ok
if you change the local gravity though, eg standing on the moon, the mass remains the same, but the weight would only be 1/6 that of the earth.

How can we calculate the density of a irregular solid or a liquid?
You can dip the irregular solid in a water or other suitable liquid. This is how, you can measure the volume of the solid. The mass can be measured by weighing scale. Mass/volume = density. It is easy to measure the mass and volume of the liquid. First measure the mass the container. Then add the liquid to it. You will get the mass of the liquid. Then measure the volume of the liquid. Use the above formula to calculate the density of the liquid.
What value of 345 mm is a measure of .?
