The number of the pencil is based on the type of carbon lead used inside. The thicker the carbon lead gets the higher the number of the pencil becomes. If you notice a mechanical pencil is 0.9mm in diameter so it would be called a #0.9 pencil. A #2 pencil's lead is 2mm in diameter. So Why would we call a pencil a #3 pencil? Because it's lead is 3mm in diameter.

In my opinion, the best unit for measuring the weight of a pencil would be grams. :)* * * * *Grams may be used for measuring mass, but that is not the same as weight. The best unit is probably a milliNewton.
a ruler!
The answer will depend on whether you want the mass of a pencil, its weight, its length, width, volume. You may want to measure its colour!
Pencil lead used to explode fairly easily when I lived in Bulgaria in 1995. We used to make it explode with only a lighter. It would take about a minute to make a 2 inch piece of lead explode. When I moved to America, I was sad to find that American pencil lead does not explode.
