To measure the mass of a potato, you would use a balance scale or a digital scale. Place the potato on the scale and ensure it is stable and not rolling. Record the reading displayed on the scale, which will give you the mass of the potato in grams or ounces. Make sure to tare the scale before placing the potato on it to ensure an accurate measurement.

In the US, potatoes are generally measured and marketed by weight. They are also graded by quality (general appearance and lack of defects). The hundredweight (abbreviated "cwt") is a common marketing measurement of 100 pounds US.

How could you find the density of a potato?

first, you weigh it to get its mass. then you acquire its volume, since it has an irregular shape, you apply water displacement method. get a calibrated cylinder, note the initial water level and gently drop the potato in. measure the resulting water level and subtract it with the initial water level. this is your volume. density= mass/volume simply divide what you measured in grams with the volume of the potato (cm3). unit of density is grams per cubic centimeter or g/cm3
