both are same

iron is heavier

  • -10

dude both r same!!! both r 100kg!!!

  • -17

both are same because both are of 100 kg each

  • -15

 100 kg cotton will be heavier.

This is because...

Upthrust acts on both iron and cotton. Cotton has a lower density than that of iron and therefore the upthrust is more whereas upthrust is less on iron compared to cotton.

Now, we know that UPTHRUST= Actual weight-apparent weight

It is given that apparent weight is 100kg in both the causes.

We know upthrust is more on cotton.

Let us suppose upthrust on cotton is 10N

The, 

Upthrust= Actual weight- Apparent weight

10=Actaul weight - 100

110kg=Actual weight of cotton 

Even if the upthrust on iron is 9.9 N

Then, 

Upthrust= Actual weight - Apparent weight

9.9=Actual weight- 100

109.9=Actual weight

PLEASE NOT THAT WE ARE ASSUMING THE MAGNITUDE OF UPTHRUST! :)

Therefore, Cotton is heavier!

Cotton is heavier. Surely

Both weigh the same, 100 kg. So although their densities are different, they will weigh the same. 
  • -16
the apparent weight of both of them is the same, but the buoyant force of cotton is high since the volume of cotton is more than iron. Therefore, true weight of cotton is more.

Iron is heavier as cotton would get upthrust and air resistance making iron heavier.
  • -8
OBVIOUSLY 100KG OF IRON
  • -8
100kg cotton

Cotton becuse the upthurst acting on both is more in iron
  • -4
iron will be heavier, if we think logically
 
  • -8
both is egual as their weight is equal but the volume of cotton is more than volume of iron
  • -4
100 kg of cotton is heavier than 100 kg of iron

obviously 100kg iron will be heavier
  • -6
Iron will definetly be heavier
  • -6
so simple "both are of same weight".
  • -5
both haev same weight
  • -5
iron is more heavier 
  • -5
both are the same heavier.

Both are same 😂😂😂😂😂because they both are of 100kg
  • -3
100 kg cotton

100 kg cotton
  • -4
sorry(typing mistake), 100 kg iron
 
  • -3
100 kg cotton
 
  • -4
Obviously 100 kg iron
  • -4
Cotton will be heavier
  • -3
Both weigh the same 100kg

100 kg cotton

it doesnt matter upon the magnitude it matters on the density of an object!!
 
  • -1
if 100 kg is apparent weight, then 100 kg cotton and if it is actual weight then both weigh the same

Cheers :)

100 kg cotton will be heavier because of the upthrust acting on it.

Hope it helps !!!

Both are same. Only their mass is different but the unit is same.

Thanks

both r hundred 100kg so they will have same weight but if u wet the cotton then it has the weight of water also so it will then be more heavier

iron will be heavier

both are same because both are of 100 kg each

You have a bag of cotton and an iron bar,

each indicating a mass of 100 kg when measured on a weighing machine. ...


Since 100 kg = 100 kg, both are equally heavier.


 100kg cotton will be more heavier than 100kg iron ...
