Yes, provided you know the density of the substance and the substance can be adequately measured by the cylinder. Because density is the quotient of the mass and volume, the mass is the product of the density and volume. So if you multiply the density and volume (assuming the units match), you will find the mass.

To find the mass and volume of an object, you need to use a measuring device. For example, you can use a balance to measure the mass of the object and a graduated cylinder to measure its volume. Once you have these measurements, you can record the mass as 50 grams and the volume as 5 milliliters.
If measuring weight - use a scaleIf measuring mass - use a balance in units of grams or kilograms.If measuring size (L x W x H) - Use a ruler/tape measureIf measuring volume - use a graduated cylinder.
It depends on the amount you want to take. If it is microlitres, you can use a micropipette, millilitres, a pipette (a burette would be more accurate), and if greater than that, it is best to use a large graduated cylinder. A graduated cylinder is more inaccurate than a pipette, but at volumes of 500ml for example, it is impractical to use a pipette.
Yarn , because that can rap around the cube OR you could use stringy ruler type thing
