What scientific units and what tool would you use to measure mass?

Mass is typically measured in kilograms (kg) or grams (g). The tool used to measure mass is called a balance or a scale.


What metric unit would be appropriate to measure your mass?

Kilograms (kg) are appropriate if you measure weight using the metric system. If using the English system of measurement, pounds (lbs) is acceptable. * * * * * No. A kilogram is a measure of mass, not of weight. The correct unit for measuring the weight of a person is a Newton. On the surface of the earth, a mass of 1 kg has a weight of approx 9.8 Newtons. Your weight would reduce to zero Newtons in outer space but your mass would remain unchanged. That's true but common use is "weight" to mean "mass", and you won't change that in a hurry. What matters is using the correct units when genuinely necessary. It's only recently, with the advent of the SI version of the metric system, that the distinction has raised its pedantic head; and then only in technical work, not common use including most trade. The English system in its own country uses Stones and Pounds to weigh a person, not just lb.; and bathroom scales are calibrated in these, with a concentric kg equivalent. 1 Stone = 14lb. 1kg = 2.2lb (approx)
