Mercenary Tao, according to the Dragon Ball Wiki, is 5 foot 10 inches. (The wiki sources this). By comparing his height to the pillar, we can estimate its dimensions. (The pillar is not perfectly vertical in the picture, so the Pythagorean theorem was used.) The dimensions were found to be 2.400 meters tall, and 0.3942 meters wide. This gives the cylindrical pillar a volume of 0.2929 meters cubed.

The material the pillar is made of is unknown, but red brick is a reliable estimate. Red brick is a common building material, and in the anime, the pillar has a pinkish colour not naturally found in concrete. The density of red brick is 1920kg/m3, so the pillar has estimated mass of 562.4 kg! (Concrete has an even higher density, near 2400kg/m3)
