Weigh it! The mass is usually found indirectly, via the weight.

How can you find the mass of an object if the volume is known but not the density?

Without knowing either the mass of an object or its density, it would be impossible to find the mass. There would be two variables and only one equation. Thus, one cannot find the mass of an object solely from its volume.

Why would you want to find volume of any object?

If you want to determine the density of an object, you would measure the mass and volume, then divide mass/volume to determine density. This can help determine the composition of the object. For example, if you find a rock that looks like a gold nugget. The density of gold is a known value, so one of the tests in determining if you are holding real gold would be to determine the density of your rock. This is one example. Another (maybe more 'real world' for you). Shipping and cargo companies measure the volume of packages as they go by on the conveyor belt, so that they can figure how many will fit in a particular truck.
