I think we don't have enough information to determine the mass. The mass is equals the volume multiplied by (ouch, forgot the right word in English, density (?)). The density (??) is obviously the same, but how do we calculate the volume? What is the shape of Eiffel Tower and what would be its volume?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
