How heavy are 1 kg weights really

[olphart]

>>To get to your actual question, it is common to see lead weights that do not weight the amount advertised.<<

And while we're being pedantic, let's use the verb "weigh" not the noun "weight" where needed. Aren't typos a bitch?

Sorry Walter, couldn't resist

While the topic is open.....

In terms of buoyancy correction they only weight the actual weight minus the weight of the water they displace. Even a weight is trying to float in it's own pathetic way.

but at lead the material density is that heigh that you can ignore the amount of water displaced.

I was wrong, I apologize. I should have said, it is common to see lead weights that do not weigh the amount advertised. I hope you will forgive my mistake.
