It depends on the brand and packaging, but a standard box of three-inch paper clips typically contains around 100 to 150 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.
