That depends on what characteristic of the object you want to measure.

Length, width, height, area, volume . . . a ruler

Mass . . . a pan balance and calibrated set of reference masses

Weight . . . a bathroom scale

Then there are the object's density, color, texture, specific heat capacity,

surface albedo, hardness, transparency, moment of intertia, etc. Each

of those would call for a different unit with which to measure it.
