Possibly the abacus, a board with wood rods, and wood beads on the rods. It is thousands of years old.

The first electronic computer, I think, was Univac. It used vacuum tubes instead of solid state devices to do its computing.

what are example calculating machines?

Calculating machines are devices designed to perform arithmetic calculations. Examples include the abacus, which uses beads to represent numbers, and mechanical calculators like the adding machine and the slide rule. More advanced examples are electronic calculators and computers, which can perform complex mathematical operations and process large amounts of data. These machines have evolved significantly, from simple manual devices to sophisticated digital technologies.

What is the average weight of a computer in the early 1940s?

Electronic computers in the sense that we know them today did not exist in the early 1940s. When the first digital machines were developed near the end of WW2 they were either very specialized calculating machines and so did not have a "typical" configuration, or were enormous, room-sized devices weighing many thousands of pounds.
