No. Density is equal to mass over volume. It has nothing to do with the weight.

Does one cubic centimeter of lead have the same density as one cubic centimeter of iron?
Any amount of lead has the same density as one cubic centimeter of lead, but no amount of lead has the same density as any amount of iron.
Why is steel denser then iron?
Density is mass divided by volume. If we assume the mass of the iron and the cotton is the same, you will find that the iron will occupy less space (less volume) than that of the cotton. The value of a mass divided by a small volume is higher than the value of the same mass divided by a larger volume. If we assume the volume of both the iron and the cotton is the same, you will also find that the mass of the iron will be higher than the mass of the cotton. The value of a large mass divided by a volume is larger than the value of a small mass divided by the same volume. In both assumptions, the value of mass divided by volume for the iron is higher than the value of mass divided by volume for the cotton. Since density is mass divided by volume, the density of iron is therefore higher than the density of cotton.
What is the density of 5 kilograms of cotton?
The same as the density of 1 kilogram, or 1/10 kilogram, or whatever. Density is not a property that depends on the amount of a substance.
Which is heavier a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?
Neither of those items weighs more. We know that, because you have told us the weightof each item, and we have completed a comparative calculation. One of them weighsone pound and the other weighs one pound. One pound is equal to one pound. So theweight of one is equal to the weight of the other, and neither of them weighs more thanthe other. Reasoning symmetrically, we are also mathematically entitled to state thatneither of them weighs less than the other one either, as well, also, too.
Will lead occupy a larger volume or will water?
lead and water will occupy the same volume. however the Density of lead is 207.2 g/L (grams per liter) and the Density of H2O is only 18.02 g/L so if you had the same volume of lead and water the lead would be heavier. But if you had the same Weight of both water and lead the water would have a larger volume.
What is heavier lead or steel?
1 kg of water. Water is less dense than lead. This means that the same volume of water will be lighter than the same volume of lead. Reversing this, 1kg of water will have a larger volume than 1kg of lead.
What is heavy a pound of stone or a pound of cotton?
They both are the same
What weighs more a pound of cotton or a pound of nails?
A pound of any substance, material or "stuff" weighs the same as a pound of anything else. A pound is a pound, whether it's cotton or nails.
Does one cubic centimeter of lead have the same density as one cubic centimeter of iron?
Any amount of lead has the same density as one cubic centimeter of lead, but no amount of lead has the same density as any amount of iron.
What weighs more a pound of lead or a pound of sand?
they both weigh the same because a pound of sand and a pound of lead will still weigh a pound
Why is steel denser then iron?
Density is mass divided by volume. If we assume the mass of the iron and the cotton is the same, you will find that the iron will occupy less space (less volume) than that of the cotton. The value of a mass divided by a small volume is higher than the value of the same mass divided by a larger volume. If we assume the volume of both the iron and the cotton is the same, you will also find that the mass of the iron will be higher than the mass of the cotton. The value of a large mass divided by a volume is larger than the value of a small mass divided by the same volume. In both assumptions, the value of mass divided by volume for the iron is higher than the value of mass divided by volume for the cotton. Since density is mass divided by volume, the density of iron is therefore higher than the density of cotton.
One pund stone or one pound cotton which one is heavier?
They weigh the same...One Pound.
What is heaviest a pound of lead or marshmallows?
they are the same
Why does a pound of feathers and a pound of lead weigh the same?
Because pounds measure weight. A pound of feathers would be a whole lot bigger than a pound of lead.
If two objects have the same mass can you assume they have the same volume Explain give example?
Two objects has got same mass means the mass of both the objects is same. It does not comment any thing about the volume of the objects. If the density of the two objects is same, then only their volume will be same. If both the objects are not made up of the same material, they have most likely to have different volume. Rarely it may be same.
What weight more a pound of lead or a pound of feather?
One, the correct term is "Which weighs more: a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?" Two, the answer is that they weigh exactly the same, because they both weigh a pound.
What weighs more concrete or lead?
Lead has a higher density than concrete, so a 1"x1"x1" cube of concrete would weigh less than the same cube of lead.
