Which is heavier a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?

Answer 1

Neither of those items weighs more. We know that, because you have told us the weight

of each item, and we have completed a comparative calculation. One of them weighs

one pound and the other weighs one pound. One pound is equal to one pound. So the

weight of one is equal to the weight of the other, and neither of them weighs more than

the other. Reasoning symmetrically, we are also mathematically entitled to state that

neither of them weighs less than the other one either, as well, also, too.

Answer 2

No. Density is the mass of an object divided by the object's volume. In this case, the feathers and the lead both have the same mass (one pound), but the lead would have a much smaller volume, giving it a higher density.

Answer 3

They would weigh the same since both a pound of lead and a pound of feathers equal one pound.

Answer 4

Neither they both weigh a pound. However, a pound of feathers fills a large bag and a pound of lead is a rather small chunk.

Answer 5

Neither of those weighs more, or less, than the other one. Their weights

are equal, and are also the same as each other.

Answer 6

they both weigh the same but there will be less bits of leather than feathers!!

Answer 7

They both have the same weight, namely "one pound".

Answer 8

Well the difference is the element.

Answer 9

It's the same amount.
