* Mass is the amount of matter in an object. It is a fundamental property and is typically measured using a balance scale.
* Volume is the amount of space an object occupies. It is a derived property and can be measured using various methods, including:
* Displacement method: Submerging the object in a liquid and measuring the volume of liquid displaced.
* Geometric calculations: Using the object's dimensions to calculate its volume.
* Graduated cylinders and beakers: These containers are marked with volume increments.
Therefore, while some instruments might be used to measure both mass and volume indirectly (e.g., a density meter), specific instruments are designed for each property.
