What is the difference between a pail and a bucket in units of measure?

When I was growing up on my Grandfather's farm we had many pails and buckets laying around. Pails were containers with larger bases than top openings (an upside down bucket) for carrying water and milk. Buckets were used to carry everything else. I don't think anyone makes pails anymore, since carrying water and milk are no longer a big part of farm life. No one confused a pail and a bucket where I grew up.
In regards to units of measure, a pail or bucket is not a unit of measure--pail or buckets can be had in one, two, three....gallons, liters, etc. The only difference is which end the bottom is on --the small end (bucket) or the large end (pail). Now it's settled.

Volume can be measured using a?
scale. While not technically the same concept as weight, in the US system of measurement, mass and weight are treated the same if the object is on Earth. the difference between the two in the metric system is in the acceleration due to gravity. where a scale (using Newtons) can still be used to measure the weight in Newtons and then divided by the 9.8 m/s^2 acceleration due to gravity, thus giving the mass in units of kg
