The same way you measure other everyday objects. One way to do this is by weighing them. This is an indirect measurement, but on Earth, you can consider weight to be proportional to mass.

To measure egg mass, use a scale that is accurate to the nearest gram. Place the egg on the scale and record the weight in grams. The egg mass is the weight of the egg alone, without any additional packaging or materials.
Immerse it in water and measure the displacement. Then calculate the mass of the amount of water displaced.
To determine the density of an egg, first weigh the egg using a scale to measure its mass. Then, fill a container with water and measure the volume of water displaced when the egg is submerged. Finally, divide the mass of the egg by the volume of water displaced to calculate the density of the egg.
No, a graduate is not used to measure mass. A graduate is typically used to measure volume, especially in laboratory settings. Mass is usually measured using a scale or balance.
The vinegar isn't absorbed by the egg.
Yes, when an egg is soaked in vinegar, the acidic vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate in the eggshell, causing it to dissolve. This can lead to a decrease in the mass of the egg as the shell dissolves.
The Haugh unit is a measure of the quality of an egg's albumen (egg white) based on its height and weight. To measure it, you need a specialized gauge called a "Haugh unit gauge." This gauge calculates the Haugh unit based on the height of the thick albumen and the weight of the egg.
