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?

I assume it's assumed to be proportionally smaller, but of equal shape, material and therefore density. Since the volume changes with the third degree of the linear change, and we've made the thing 1000 times shorter, then the volume will be 1e9 times less - so Michael Asherman was right with 8 grams.
