Please provide explanation with your answers. Simply posting code does not spread knowledge of integral scripting processes which helps people understand the logic and reasoning behind your answer.
function GetMassOfModel(model)
local mass = 0
for i, v in pairs(model:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA('BasePart') or v:IsA('Union') then
mass = mass + v:GetMass()
end
end
return mass
end
Something like that; When this function is called on a model (as the argument), it iterates through each object in the model specified, checks if it's a physical object, and then adds that object's mass into a total (the mass variable), returning the variable when it's done iterating.

You made a small mistake. Remove the return statement out of the loop. Lacryma 548 — 8y

Replace IsA("Part") with IsA("BasePart"), that way it'll get the mass of wedges, balls, and other base parts as well. grasheeno 70 — 8y

They are UnionOperations, but they extend BasePart anyway. BlueTaslem 18071 — 8y
