This statement is incorrect. 100 pounds of steel and 100 pounds of cotton both weigh the same amount, which is 100 pounds. The difference in their volume or density may make them appear to have different weights, but by definition, they both weigh the same.

What weighs more ton of cotton or ton of nails?

Last answer: "Depends of how you weigh them. A ton of cotton could weigh more than a ton of nails." Not true! A ton (2000 lbs) is just a ton. 1 thing that weighs exactly 2000 pounds, cant weigh more or less than another thing that weighs exactly 2000 pounds. This is very simple! How did you get this wrong? Or maybe he/she was referring to the fact that there are at least 3 different types of tons. I am not sure. Well anyway, the point is that they were wrong, and the question now has a correct, acceptable answer. :P
