How much does a pencil weigh?
A #2 graphite pencil made of wood weighs between 6 and 10 grams. The difference is in the thickness of the wood (cheaper pencils have thinner wood). But it depends on the pencil. There are many different types of pencils that are mainly used in art. There's an HB pencil which is just a regular office pencil, which is probably what you're measuring. But there are also others. There are 2B, 4B, 6B, 8B, and 9B. The higher the number, the darker the color of the lead and the softer the lead. So even though 9B is the darkest color, you'd think it would be the heaviest, but really HB is.
When did they stop using lead in pencils?
Pencils were never made with lead, they have always been made with graphite. When pencils were first made it was beleived that graphite was a type of lead, but science has now proven graphite is a type of carbon, not lead. Well, i didn't want to delete this person's answer, but it is wrong. In fact, lead was used in pencils for hundreds of years, but there was a major problem with using lead. These pencils would form lead oxide on the tips, making it difficult to write, so when people wanted to write, they would lick the lead of the pencil to get the lead oxide off. When people realized that this was dangerous because consuming lead (even in minute quantities) can cause brain damage, pencils began to be manufactured with graphite instead of lead. Coming back to your original question - I don't know when they switched to graphite, but I think that it was sometime in the first half of the 20th century.
