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.

The nails and lunker nails appear the same but different densities.

HUH?!?!?!?!?!?

Acceleration and Gravity are not mutually inclusive.Remember the 'ol bowling ball and a feather in a vacuum?Everything being equal the rate at which an object will fall(accelate) is 9.8ft per second/per second. So..................

........which weighs more:a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?A pound is a pound no matter how you look at it.The only differance is size.So.........

.........a 1/32 nail weighs the same as a 1/32 slug-go weight.And trust me nails come in oh so many more varieties than a slug-go weight. Depending on size# a stainless brad is about as small or smaller as a slug-go weight.
