The comment above still fits, You can obtain mass of the earth by doing the simple pendulum method to obtain g from the equation √g = 2π√L/T

g = earth's gravity L = length of the pendulum T = time period

Note that simple pendulum give adequate answers for small angles only, if you swing the pendulum to wide you won't br arriving at the earth's gravity.

then equate it with g = GM/r²
