Fifty paper clips usually weigh around 50 grams, as they are very light. Fifty kilograms would be an extremely heavy weight for fifty paper clips.
The mass of thirty kilograms of paper clips is the same as thirty-five kilograms of lead. However, lead has a higher density than paper clips, so the lead will have a smaller volume compared to the paper clips. In terms of inertia, both objects will have the same inertia when experiencing the same acceleration, as inertia is directly proportional to mass.
100 small paper clips weigh 100 grams.
You would typically use grams (g) or milligrams (mg) to measure the mass of a paper clip.
To calculate the mass you need to know the volume of the object and the density of the material from which it is manufactured.
It depends on the brand and packaging, but a standard box of three-inch paper clips typically contains around 100 to 150 clips.
