Calculating rigidbody mass
Hey so im trying to realistically calculate the mass of a rigidbody
according o this post --> http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/177563/what-unit-is-rigidbody-mass-based-on.html
a rigidbodys mass is the weight in kilograms
so lets just say i have a concrete slab 1 meter cubed that weighs 2400 kilograms
is the rigidbodys mass 2400 because i though mass is suppose to be a small number
Thanks ~Scott

Well the guy whose answer was accepted, linked an entry in the manual. That entry is no longer the same; it says it uses arbitrary units and not kilograms, unlike the scale of a mesh, which simulates meters.
Take a look at http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-Rigidbody.html , sections: Use the right size & Hints.
Thank you for pointing that "Use the right size and Hints" section out im understanding how mass works now. Thanks
