If the object is a box, then the volume is the length x width x height.

If the object is a cylinder, then the volume is pi x radius x radius x height.

If the object is a ball, then the volume is 4/3 * pi x radius x radius x radius.

Do you mean like cm^3, or m^3?

The amount of space something takes up is volume, which is measured in 3 dimensions. Hence the cubed symbol.

A situation when an object can have mass without having weight?

If that "something" you are reffering to is matter, then no, this will not be possible. It is against the very fundamentals of physics...Matter is something which has mass AND occupies space. If this were the case, that something would have mass and not occupy space.. its density would be round about infinity. A black hole is the closest to what you might be wanting to hear. It has a mass, and has a space that is no smaller than a teaspoon. Energy does not come in to this. The simple reason because it has its own quantity so we can not possibly imagine to find the *mass* and *space* of the form of energy, say heat. I hope this helped.Sincerely, Kenny.
