they are both the same because its a ton
Neither, they both weigh 1 ton.
It depends which ton you use. In the UK 1 ton = 1 long ton = 2240 lb → a ton of steel weighs more than 2000 lb of cotton. In the US 1 ton = 1 short ton = 2000 lb → both are the same (A "metric ton", or "tonne" is 1000 kg which is approx 2205 lb, a little less than 1 long ton.)
by the ton
A cubic yard of topsoil, if compacted to get the air pockets out will weigh more than 1 tone. If the topsoil is loose, a cubic yard of it could weigh about 1 ton. A lot depends on the topsoil, and whether it has more stone dust or less in it. The more moist the topsoil is, the more likely it will weigh more than a ton.

both
2000kg is more than one ton.
Yes. Which weighs more, a ton of feathers or a ton of gold. Answer, they both weigh a ton.
As you said both are a ton so both will be weighing the same, one ton. (exception: a tonne (being 1,000 kg, ton is 2,000 lb))
Weight depends on the strength of the gravitational field they are in, but assuming this to be the same, they are the same weight.
Anything that weighs 1 Mg(Mega-gram, or 1 million grams, 100 thousand more grams than a ton) or higher. For specific objects, many vehicles weight more than a ton, large buildings, etc. From the way you phrased the question, it sound like you think a ton = 1 thousand pounds, forgive me if I misunderstood that, but a ton weights 2 thousand pounds, not just 1.

The steel fishing weight is denser than water, so it sinks. The 50000 ton ship has a large volume, which displaces enough water to create a buoyant force that counteracts its weight, allowing it to float. This principle is known as Archimedes' principle.
