You can find the mass of an object by weighing it in a known gravity field, and then converting between Newtons and KiloGrams. On the Earth, the "normal" gravity field is 9.81 m/s2, and it is common to express mass and weight as the same thing although, technically, it is not.
In a zero-g environment, such as in space orbit, you can determine mass by suspending the object between two calibrated springs and bouncing them. You would measure the displacement and period of oscillation, and you would need to know the force of the springs as a function of displacement.

Is it easier to find the mass of an object with a large mass or smaller mass?
Large mass
What is the formula for finding the mass of an object?
To find the volume of an object use the formula v=dm where Volume=Density x Mass To find the mass of an object use the formula m=dv where Mass=Density x Volume
How do you use mass and volume to find the density of an object?
mass divided by volume
Do you multiply the mass by its volume to find the density of an object?
No mass divided by volume
How can you find the mass of an object if the volume of the object and the density of the liquid is known?
The law of conservation of mass states mass= density times volumeThe definition of density=mass/volumemultiply the density and the volume! =mass
