Using a scale, the box of bricks, and the object, keep putting bricks or pieces of bricks until the scales balance. Find out how many bricks you put and multiply by the mass of one brick and you got the mass of the object.

∙ 10y agoWeight is measured in Newtons, whereas kilograms measure mass. So, if your question was about mass, two bricks would have a mass of 4 kilograms.
They both have the same mass. A kilogram measure mass regardless of the material, volume etc.
Mass= Kg (Kilograms) Weight= N (Newtons) or if your measuring volume, then it would be: cm3 (Centimeters Cubed)
If you can destroy the box its easy. Cut a small piece from the board. Trim it to a regular shape such that you know the formula for its area : a rectangle is probably best. Measure the sides of the piece in metric units and convert these to metres (1 cm = 0.01 m, 1 mm = 0.001 m). Calculate the area in square metres. Measure the mass of the piece, and convert to grams, if necessary. Mass/Area = gsm. If you cannot damage the box, the area becomes much harder to measure. You need to measure all the sides, but also all the overlaps. Add all these area together. Divide the mass of the whole [empty] box by its total area.
The international (SI) unit of mass is the kilogram.

Get a dump truck, top off the fuel tank and weigh the truck at a truck stop. Then put the bricks in the truck, top the fuel tank off again, and reweigh the truck. Subtract the weight of the empty truck from the weight of the full truck, and you have the mass of the bricks. You COULD weigh every brick individually on a balance and add them all together, but that's really a pain. You could also weigh one brick, count the bricks in the pile and figure it mathematically...but really, a Bobcat and a trip to the local Petro will be much quicker.
The bricks weigh 1.5 kg in total. This can be calculated by subtracting the original weight of the empty box from the weight of the box with the bricks inside: 2kg - 0.5kg = 1.5kg.
Mass is not the same as weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that object. Weight changes depending on the gravitational pull, while mass remains constant. Thus, mass is a more accurate measure of the quantity of matter in an object.
One would have to know the size of the bricks.
30 grams
You would typically measure the mass of a bowling ball using a scale or a balance designed to handle objects of that size and weight. Place the bowling ball on the scale or balance and read the measurement displayed, usually in units like pounds or kilograms.
Cheese bricks, obviously. Actualy if it's a pound of cheese, a pound of bricks, or a pound of feathers they al way the same,, no matter how much it seems that a pound of feathers is the lightest,,there all 1 pound! ^_^
Mass is the scientific name for weight. There are many units for mass, the gram, the kilogram, the ton, the tonne. But there are also other units of mass. For more information, see Related links below this box.
10000 grams of bricks have a greater mass than 10000 grams of feathers because bricks are denser and heavier than feathers. Weight depends on the mass and the force of gravity acting on an object, so in this case, both would weigh the same.
