How do I calculate mass?

​Pretty easy, you weight it on a scale

There are only 2 units we use for mass....
g(grams) and kG (kilograms)

You find the "displacement" Put the object in a cylinder, and measure the before and after units, and the difference in the volume. in mL

​An irregular object

You measure Length x Width x Height measured in cm^3

​A cube or normal object

Keys to remember

​The density of water is 1.00 g/mL

If anything is higher than 1.00 g/mL, it will SINK
If anything is lower than 1.00 g/mL, it will float.
If it is "equal" to 1.00 g/ml, it will float/"flink"
