a ton of bricks, weighed in air, would, when weighed in vacuum, weigh more than a ton of feathers, weighed in air.
weight is a force measurement so boyouncy forces affect the measurement

If you started with a ton of vacuum weighed feathers and a ton of vacuum weighed bricks, the bricks would weigh more when you took them out of the vacuum, as the feathers would be displacing more air than the bricks, and thus would be buoyed slightly more by the air.
If you started weighing them in air, and you ended weighing them in air, of course they would weigh the same.

no matter what the objects are...a ton weighs a ton just like a pound of sand is the same as a pound of rocks

Each weighs a ton... a better question is... "Which of the two takes up more space?"

What is dumber, the fact that this question was asked, or that we are all taking the time to dignify it with a repsonse?
