To measure mass, use a scale or balance. Place the object on the device and read the measurement. For small items, use a digital scale for higher accuracy. Ensure the scale is calibrated to zero before use. Mass is typically measured in grams or kilograms.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What is the difference between mass and weight? Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that object.
  2. What types of scales can be used to measure mass? You can use mechanical balances, digital scales, and analytical balances for different levels of precision.
  3. How often should I calibrate my scale? It's recommended to calibrate your scale regularly, at least once a month or before important measurements.
