If you are assuming a pound is 16 ounces, the gold will weigh more than the feathers. This is because gold is measured in Troy ounces and feathers are measured in Avoirdupois ounces.

Which is heavier kg of gold or 10000 of copper?

The question as I heard it years ago was phrased, "Which is heavier a pound of gold or a pound of feathers?" Gold, being a precious metal, is weighed on the Troy system, which uses a wimpy pound and a wimpy ounce. Feathers are measured on the avoirdupois system, which has 16 full ounces in a pound. Ah, but you asked about the kg! As far as I know, a kg is a kg. So ten thousand grams of copper are heavier than one thousand grams of gold. (Technically, a kg is mass rather than weight, but that is another problem.)
