Want this question answered?
Although both sheets weigh the same, the wadded sheet has less wind resistance causing it to fall faster
to my calculations.... 0.0000000000000001 of a gram. thankyou.
you weigh it
As printer paper is sold in various thicknesses and sizes, there is no single answer.
This depends on the thickness of the paper. Typical laser printer paper is 80g/m2 The area of an A4 sheet is 0.125m2 So, an 80g/m2 A4 sheet weighs 10g (approx 0.35 ounces)

One sheet of A4 paper (70 gsm) will weigh 0.042 Newtons.

You need more information. You need to know how much paper you are dealing with (a ream, or some other sheet count) and also the specific grade of paper. Reams of different paper can weigh differently.
A pencil, a sheet of paper and a paper clip.
6 sheet of letter size 11"x8.5" weigh 1 ounce
70gsm means that 1 sheet of A0 (16 sheets of A4) should weigh 70 grams. Therefore assuming we are talking about 500 sheets of A4 paper then it will weigh (500/16)*70 grams or 2187.5 grams.
Unless any of them are abnormally large, it should be common sense. But you could find a scale and weigh them.
A4 paper is 210X297 mm so each sheet is 0.06237 m2 multiply that by 80 grams m2 it comes to 4.9896 grams a sheet. Say 5 grams. 2 x reams (1000 sheets) weighs about 4.5kg so each sheet is 4.5g
