The answer would be a fraction or a decimal of a ton since a ton is more than an ounce. A lot more. If you wanted to know how many ounces were in a ton, that would be easier. There is 2000 pounds in a ton. (US). There are 16 ounces in a pound. If you multiply 16 times 2,000 that will tell us how many ounces are in a ton. 16 X 2,000 = 32,000. There are 32,000 ounces in a ton.
There is a mixture of imperial and metric units; first, I'll order each set, and then put them together in one ordered list: Imperial: ounce, pound, ton Metric: gram, kilogram, metric ton (tonne) Together depends upon where you are: 1 tonne ≈ 2205 lb * In UK which uses the long ton = 2240 lb: gram, ounce, pound, kilogram, metric ton, ton (here the metric ton is only slightly less than the ton) * In USA which uses the short ton = 2000 lb gram, ounce, pound, kilogram, ton, metric ton (here the metric ton is quite a bit more than the ton)
Well lets just say they weigh the same. ==> Two tons of either one does.
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
Depends on if by 'customary' you're referring to a short ton or a long ton. A short ton is less than a metric ton; a long ton is more than a metric ton.
A giant featherA Buffalo, because it doesn't way an ounce, more like a ton!
no
No. A gallon weighs about 8 pounds, and a ton is 2,000 pounds.
A ton of gold weighs more than a ton of feathers. While they both weigh the same in terms of tons, gold is a denser material than feathers, so a ton of gold will have more mass and be heavier than a ton of feathers.
Some do and some don't.
If they both weigh a ton - then they have the sameweight.
The answer to this cannot be determined without knowing what is being measured or weighed. For example, a fluid ounce of water will weigh much less than a fluid ounce of mercury.
In normal conditions (in Earth's atmosphere, at the same elevation) a ton of apples weighs more than a ton of feathers, because the density of an apple is greater than density of a feather (feathers are mostly hollow inside). Therefore, the Earth's atmosphere has a greater "floating" effect on the feathers, making them weigh less than apples. People who give "both weigh the same" answer ignore the fact that a ton (1000 kg) is the measure of mass, not weight. Let me ask: what weighs more, a ton of rocks or a ton of helium-filled balloons? Guess! ;) Consider also that if you weigh the two commodities in a vacuum then there is no buoyancy factor.
They both weigh a ton
More than you can get into your pockets How about a 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.
No. 9 ostriches are around 810 pounds. 22 ostriches is closest to a ton.
