How much does 1 piece of paper weigh?
A piece of printing paper usually weighs between 60-120 grams. The normal weight should not exceed more than 160 grams. If the weight of the material exceeds 160 grams, then it can be considered a card. It is better to know the different methods used to find the weight of the paper. Example, in the United States, people mainly assign weight in terms of ream, which is composed of 500 sheets. As an example, a ream of 20 pounds paper with the size of 8.5 by 11 inches has a weight of five pounds.
How many kg does a ream of paper weigh?
Scrunched up or shredded paper, etc, is anyone's guess, so I'm answering with the case of printer paper piled up instead. Start by measuring one ream of your paper. Mine here is A4 sheets, 2.5 kilogrammes, and is 5 centimetres thick. It contains 500 sheets of 80 gsm but that's not important. The ISO system defines A0 as a square metre in area, so you need 2 of A1, 4 of A2, 8 of A3 or sixteen A4 reams to make a square metre in area and as these are each 5cm thick you'd need 20 reams high to produce the metre height. Therefore 16x20 = 320 reams of this paper would produce the cubic metre and would weigh around 800 kilogrammes. Various different types of paper exist and you might find your paper produces different results, e.g. if you laser print it first, etc, I would say as a ballpark figure you could budget about 1 tonne per cubic metre and be fairly safe. The other method is to understand that water weighs about 1000 kilogrammes per m3, take a sample of your paper, wrap it in clingfilm and see if it floats. If it sinks, the stuff weighs more than 1000, if it just about floats then it's not much less than 1000 and if it floats half in and half out, then it weighs around 500 kg/m3.
How many grams does one sheet of construction paper weigh?
Paper in the United States is calculated as 500 sheets of bond paper with a size of 17" by 22" (ledger-size) as having a weight of 20 pounds. The manufacturer cuts a ledger-sheet into four 8 ½" by 11" (letter-size) sheets, so a 500 letter-size sheet ream of 20-pound bond paper weighs 5 pounds. In the real world (outside the USA where they use archaic units) A sheet of A4 paper is 1/16 of a square metre, or 210 × 297 mm. The normal standard for printer paper is 80 gsm (grams per square metre). Therefore a standard A4 sheet weighs 80/16 = 5 grams.

If you have a ream of paper 500 sheets it is 8.5cm thick he wants to stack 10 reams how many meters tall will it be how thick is each piece of paper?
Ten reams of paper, at 8.5 centimetres tall each, would measure 8.5 x 10 = 85 centimetres.Each sheet of paper within a ream would measure 8.5 / 500 = 0.017 centimetres, or 1.7 millimetres.
