You're asking the wrong question.

From the official Eiffel Tower website http://www.tour-eiffel.fr/teiffel/uk.../chiffres.html:
Weight:
The Eiffel Tower is relatively lightweight, creating a force of only 4.5kg/cm2 on the foundation.

If the Tower was placed in an air cylinder, its weight would not be more than that of the air cylinder.

Metal framework weight: 7,300 tons.
Total weight: 10,000 tons.

A blue whales tounge weighs more than a grizzly bear.

I read that on a fact sheet above a urinal at a bar in Chicago, so it must be true.
