Weight of 1 k g 1kg of cotton= weight of 1 k g 1kg of iron

But along with the bag, the cotton would weigh more than the block of iron .

This was indeed very tricky!!!

actually a very good question, somehow towards the end, i thought that in vacuum, both will weigh same and the cotton bag will have some weight....
