Most often on Earth, either a pan-balance or a
scale is used. As long as you stay on the same
planet and know the acceleration of gravity
there, the easiest method is to measure weight,
and then calculate mass from it.

Tools commonly used to determine mass include a balance scale, electronic scales, and spring scales. These tools measure an object's mass by comparing it to known standards or by applying force and measuring the resulting deflection.
To determine the density of a block, you can use a balance to measure its mass and a ruler to measure its dimensions. The density of the block can then be calculated by dividing the mass by the volume.
To find the density of a block, you can use a balance to measure its mass and a ruler to measure its dimensions. Divide the mass of the block by its volume (calculated from its dimensions) to determine the density.
You would use a scale to measure the mass of a block. Place the block on the scale and record the reading to determine its mass.
You can indirectly determine the mass of an object greater than the maximum mass by using an alternative method, such as a balance scale or a different type of spring scale with a higher capacity. The maximum mass limit of a spiral spring may restrict direct measurement, but other tools can provide a solution.
They use a tri beam scale.
