The scaling low of mass distribution in composite media which have the same topology as that of the corresponding fractals but have more inhomogeneity in mass distributions is studied, and the scaling exponents (dimensions) are calculated. We suggest that a set of dimensions may be introduced to describe the details of the inhomogeneous distribution of mass.
