1. The mass of the brass ball on this planet is a quarter of its mass as measured on earth
2. The weight of the brass ball on this planet is a quarter of the weight as measured on earth
3. The brass ball has the same mass on the other planet as on earth
4. The brass ball has the same volume on the other planet as on earth
