That really depends what information you are given. If you have the item, just weigh it. If you know the item's volume (or have enough information to calculate it), and its density, you can multiply the volume times the density, to get the mass.

A weighing machine will give you the mass of an item. The weight of an item is the amount of force that an item exerts on the earths surface.


How do you work out weight?

Weight = mass x gravity


What item weighs 10 kilos?

Kilogram is a unit of mass, not of weight. That would be the approximate mass of a pail of water.


What devices are used to measure weight and mass and how do they work?

Devices such as scales and balances are commonly used to measure weight and mass. Scales work by measuring the force of gravity acting on an object, which is directly proportional to its mass. Balances work by comparing the weight of an unknown object to the weight of a known standard mass. Both devices provide a numerical value that represents the weight or mass of the object being measured.


How do you work out weight mathematically?

Weight is mass times acceleration due to gravity.


Is the mass of an elephant on the moon the same as it's weight on the moon?

Mass and weight are two different things. Mass does not change, but weight changes depending on the gravity acting on the item. An elephant has the same mass on Earth, the Moon, or when weightless in orbit. The weights in each of those location will vary greatly.

Why is it necessary to considee the mass of the scale pan?

Considering the mass of the scale pan is necessary because it affects the overall weight measurement being displayed on the scale. The mass of the pan needs to be accounted for in order to accurately determine the weight of the item being measured, ensuring precise and reliable results. Failure to consider the mass of the pan can lead to inaccuracies in the weight measurements.


Do items weigh differently around the world?

yes, every item has its own weight and mass as every person has different fingerprints.


What is the amount of work done by a weight lifter in holding a weight of 100kg on his shoulder for 40 seconds?

While just holding the weight on his shoulder, the weight lifter does no work! For work to be done, the mass must be moved through a distance … No Movement, No Work! (but don't tell that to a weight lifter …)
