Which is lighter a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?

A ton is a measurement of the weight of an object. No matter what the object is, if two items weigh a ton, then they are equal. A ton of bricks weighs exactly the same as a ton of feathers.

What weight is more a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?

Both weigh the same amount, a ton.


What has more mass a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?

Since thier both a ton...a ton is a ton...but if you're talking about MASS, its possible the bricks would have more as they are more dense. This is a trick question.

a brick


What is heavier a ton of bricks or a ton of fethers?

This question has been answered to death on this website! To cut a long story short... Given that a ton of feathers and a ton of bricks are of equal mass, but differing volume (the feathers are much less dense, and thus more volumous):Assuming they are measured at the same location on Earth, the ton of feathers would displace more air (a fluid), creating greater upthrust, thus causing them to weigh less.So, a ton of bricks is heavier than a ton of feathers. (on Earth)

Which is heavier a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?

A ton is a ton, whether bricks, feathers or shoes. So they weigh the same. However in reality, the space taken up by the feathers would also include a large amount of air (which has a lot of mass and therefore weight if you get enough of it), where bricks would be stacked together with little air between. The feathers would then weigh more when actually measured, but only because you aren't measuring just the feathers. ANS2: The ton is a mass unit--it measures how much "stuff" you have. Heaviness, how hard gravity pulls a mass to another object, is measured by weight units. The avoirdupois system uses the pound as a unit of mass. There are 2000 pounds in an avoirdupois ton. Weight is measured in slugs. Since a ton of feathers has the same mass as a ton of bricks we are left to determine which has a greater attraction to the earth (weight). Two factors determine this measurement: "How far is the center of gravity from the center of the earth?" and "Are there any countering forces?" In a pile of bricks, the center of gravity is slightly closer to the center of the earth than would be the center of gravity of a pile of feathers. The gravitational attraction on the bricks would be greater than on the feathers. Feathers occupy more space than bricks of the same mass and, therefore displace more air. Air would provide a buoyant force countering the force towards the center of the earth. For these two reasons, a ton of bricks weighs slightly more than a ton of feathers.
