Crazy units

Q:How much is a ton?
1000 kgs?
2000 pounds?
2240 pounds?
And how much is one tonne?
How much is a short ton and how much is a long ton?

I bet most of you didnt know how many ton(ne)s you weighed :P

Answer:
1 metric ton = 1000 kgs.
short ton = 2000 pounds = net ton
long ton = 2240 pounds = gross ton

1 quintal in UK is 100 kgs while 1 quintal in US is 100 pounds
Note: 1kg = 2.2 pounds
