The weight of an object is defined as the force of gravity on the object and may be calculated as the mass times the acceleration of gravity, w = mg.
Weight of nail= (mass of nail) x (acceleration of gravity)
Like nebe said, in otther words the weight is different and so is the mass between the nail a lunker city nail since the acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s sq.) is constant.
