iwant differenet methods and ways for mass measuring (weight)?

you have to be more specific then that. To get weight one would use triplebeam balance, electronic scale, spring scale, or any other type of scale I guess.

You could try ebay, they have all kinds of weird things, or try googling it. www.google.com and put in manuel Model# DWXL 1028 weighing scale, something may come up.

While the answers above are correct, I will go a bit further.\n\nEstes rockets sells a nice tool for just this very job that will make your measurement fairly easy and accurate. It is called AltiTrak (TM).\n\nhttp://www.estesrockets.com/cgi-bin/products.cgi?view,296

Direct measurement will be correct.\nPeople can be mistaken, or lie.\n\n;-D Where did you not learn to spell? Wow.

The most popular method is the Body Mass Index (BMI). It is a number calculated from a person’s weight and height. It doesn't directly measure body fat, but still provides a good estimate.\n\nThere are many BMI calculators available on the Internet. For an example of one (for teens and adults), visit the CDC site sourced below. If your question relates to the formula behind the BMI, visit the second (for adults) or third (for teens) sites sourced below.

saad, hi!\n\ni found this neat description for you... it's put in simple layman terms...\n\nQ. What's the difference between weight and mass?\n\nA. As long as you stay on Earth, the difference is more philosophical than practical.\n\nQ. Uh...what do you mean by that?\n\nA. Well, mass is a measurement of how much matter is in an object; weight is a measurement of how hard gravity is pulling on that object. Your mass is the same wherever you are--on Earth, on the moon, floating in space--because the amount of stuff you're made of doesn't change. But your weight depends on how much gravity is acting on you at the moment; you'd weigh less on the moon than on Earth, and in interstellar space you'd weigh almost nothing at all.\n\nQ. But if you stay on Earth, gravity is always the same, so it really doesn't matter whether you talk about weight or mass.\n\nA. That's right...but scientists still like to be careful about distinguishing between the two. If you talk about the mass of an atom--as I will do from now on--you're always talking about the same thing; if you talk about its weight, what you mean depends on where the atom is. \n____________________________________________\n\nhope this helped...!\n\nenjoy!

Of course, it really depends on what lengths, masses and time increments you are trying to measure and why.  The key is to have a foundation reference point with each measurement.  But here are some ideas:\n\nLength:  A piece of string or a piece of paper is good tool.  If you need to know exactly how many feet something is, a common record album is 12 inches across ( 1 foot) or a standard floor tile which is 12 inches from one flat side to its' opposite.  Use this as your foundation length of your string.  For long distance you can guage the length of your footstep using the above method, then count your footsteps when walking constistently, or use the odometer in your car.  Not a precise technique but approximate.\n\nMass:  A bucket filled to the top with water, placed inside another bucket that can catch spilled water.  Let's say you want to find the mass of a bowling ball.  Simply place the bowling ball into the bucket filled to the top with water, and whatever water it displaces (and is caught in the second bucket), is its mass (example: 1 gallon).  Repeat these steps to find out the mass of other things like your dog.  It's not an exact science but it's a basis for comparison at home as long as you keep using the same buckets.\n\nTime:   The sun is always good for this since our clocks are based on exposure to it due to rotation of the Earth every 24 hours, and our revolution around it once a year.  It's how sundials work.  You use a shadow.  You can mark the position of a shadow with a pen or a scratch, then observe (and mark) how the shadow has changed at a later moment.  When sunlight is not available, candles are good to observe the passage of time in a similar way as they burn and melt, as long as you keep using the same kinds of candles.

Mass is the amount of material in an object. Mass stays the same no matter what force is acting on the object. This makes mass different from weight, which depends on both the amount of mass and the amount of gravity

Three weighings.\nPut 4 on each side and weigh\nTake the 4 from the side that is heavier and \nPut 2 on each side and weigh.\nTake the 2 from the side that is heavier and \nPut 1 on each side and weigh.\nTake the one that is heaver.  It is the heaviest one.

Mass is the amount of matter present in a body and is an intrinsic property of the body. Mass of an object remains the same always at any place.\n\nWeight on the other hand is the force which a given mass feels due to the gravity at its place. Weight is measured in units of Force like Newton (which is the SI unit of Force).\nIf your mass is 60 kgs then your weight is approximately 60 x 10 = 600 Newtons. This is because\n\nForce = mass x acceleration (From Newton's second Law)\n\nThus, weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

mass = the amount of matter, independant of gravity and in sci units measure in kg's\n\nweight= force, the downward pull on an object due to gravity, measure in N (newtons)

Most American countries use scales to measure an object's weight, or Earth's gravitational pull on it, while most European countries use balances to measure its mass- a measure of the amount of matter in the object. The reason for European countries to measure mass instead of weight is because mass is a more reliable way to measure things, because it doesn't change in relation to your position on Earth.

For calculating weight you will be needing the specific gravity or bulk density of the material it is made of.\nElse you need a weigh balance.

weight is measured in pounds and mass in kilograms.  Mass is independent of gravity but weight is not.  as far as them being alike i guess people commonly use them both to measure if they are fat or not.
