Description
The GetMass function returns a Number value of the object's mass. Currently, all objects in Roblox have a density of 1, which means the GetMass returns the same value as the Volume of the object (size x * size y * size z*). This can be useful to determine more than just the mass of an object, but also the size.
Example
local myPart = Instance.new("Part")
myPart.Parent = game.Workspace
myPart.Size = Vector3.new(4, 6, 4)
myPart.Anchored = true
local myMass = myPart:GetMass()
print("My part's mass is " .. myMass) --> My part's mass is 96
