How do we measure the mass of the moon?

Easy solution for that problem… just fill the bath with Mercury (the liquid metal, not the planet)

Yah, but don’t push the moon down to completely submerge it - again, that gives you volume, not mass. Just let it float and weigh the displaced mercury (easiest if you have a nice big eureka can).

You could also use the planet, melted down. It’s denser than the Moon, so it would work just as well.
