*Both On the earth,weighs same.
both will be having different weight ,if you consider cotton on earth and iron on the moon.
W=M*g
*Also , if you are having precision instrument and if you measure and ironblock and cotton[in loose],loose cotton weighs more (whatever be the amount due to entrapped air!)
#Is there any confusion in such a nice confusion/?????!!!!!!!

Visit a nearest cotton dealer. Buy 10 kg of cotton. Observe the 10 kg iron weight on one pan and 10 kg cotton on the other pan. Now figure out which is heavy?

They both weigh the same(10 kg = 10 kg)

Actually, since we are speaking of MASS and not weight here, the greater density of iron will result in less buoyancy so, its net weight will be more. Remember, air is a fluid, so any object experiences a buoyancy force equal to the weight of the air displaced by the object. 10 kg of cotton will displace significantly more air than 10 kg of iron. If this doesn't make any sense to you, just think how much helium is in a dirigible. It has significant MASS, but negative net weight.

Since their mass is the same, their weight would be the same.
Now, 10 kg of iron takes up the size of box of tissue paper(kleenex), while 10 kg of cotton would probably fill a small house, but we're not talking about volume, were talking about mass. Perhaps that's where your confusion lies.

ofcourse, 10 kg iron and 10 kg cotton weigh equal.

While they both weigh the same, I wouldn't call either particularly heavy, I could pick up the iron with one hand, while depending on how tightly packed the cotton was, it might be awkward to pickup, it's weight would still be the same.

I say it is the 10 KG iron. Because, if the 10 kg cotton falls on your head nothing happens. Haa haa haa.
