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.

How much does one sheet of computer paper weigh in grams?
That depends both on the size (length, width) of the paper, and on its thickness. The paper I use for printing has 75 grams per square meter; you can base your calculations on that (convert length and width to meters, and multiply by 75 to get grams per sheet). Or use some other thickness, depending on the paper you use.Please note that a gram is not technically a unit of weight, but a unit of mass.
