There are a couple of ways to measure mass. The most common method is to use a balance. Hey, wait a minute! (you should be saying) People weigh stuff all the time with a balance! Think about it. If you go to a different planet, the balance weights change by the same factor as the object you are measuring.

Usually by measuring the weight of the object. Mass is releated to weight by the equation Weight = mass * g where g is the local acceleration due to gravity. Weight can be measured with a spring balance - a spring is streched in proportion ...

Remember that any measurement is a comparison with a standard. The fundamental dimension of mass refers to this process for measuring mass (or inertia), which is inherent in Newton s view of the laws governing the motions of objects.

What we call "weight" is a force: mass times acceleration (the acceleration of gravity). So, by comparing forces on masses, we measure mass.
