Further explanation

In general, some people equate mass and weight.

Mass is one of the principal quantities, which is related to the matter , whereas weight is a force that leads to the center of the earth (Earth's gravitational force)

Steps that can be taken to find the mass :

  • 1. Weigh graduated cylinder (empty)
  • 2. Pour the alcohol in the beaker into the graduated cylinder to the level of 40 ml
  • 3. Weigh again graduated cylinder + poured alcohol
  • 4. mass of alcohol 40 ml = mass in 3rd step - mass in the first step
