Which is heavier 1 pound of feathers 1 pound of gold 16oz of water 1 pound of iron 1 pound of wood 16oz leaves 16oz paint?
The Feathers, Iron, Wood, and Leaves would all weigh the same. Water could vary depending on the temperature, but the 16 liquid ounces will be very close to the same. The paint will probably weigh the most, the 16 fluid ounces will have a higher density and typically has metals in it. The Gold would weigh less, as it is measured in Troy weight rather than Avoirdupois weight.

Why does iron feel heavier than feather when their weights are the same?
Iron feels heavier than a feather because it is denser. Density is the amount of mass per unit volume, so even if the weights are the same, the iron is more compacted and takes up less space than the feather. As a result, the iron feels more substantial and gives the perception of being heavier.

They are the same.

An ounce of gold, however, does *not* weigh the same as an ounce of lead. Some research will show why....
