A pound of gold weighs the same as a pound of silver, because they are both one pound. But a block of gold would weigh more than the same-sized block of silver (gold is more dense than silver, so a smaller volume weighs the same).
The statement "1 pound of pure cotton is heavier than 1 pound of gold" is incorrect because 1 pound is always equal to 1 pound, regardless of the material it is measuring. The difference lies in the density of the materials - gold is denser than cotton, so a pound of gold takes up less physical space compared to a pound of cotton.
Both 1 pound of gold and 1 pound of feathers weigh the same, as they both weigh 1 pound. The difference lies in the volume, where the feathers would take up more space due to their lighter density compared to gold.
same weight - 1kg
Mercury is denser and heavier than gold. Gold has a density of about 19.3 g/cm3, while Mercury has a density of about 13.6 g/cm3. Therefore, Mercury would weigh more than gold for the same volume of each substance.
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.
A pound of steel.
no
A pound of gold and a pound of cotton weigh the same because they both weigh one pound. The difference lies in their volume and value, as gold is much denser and more valuable than cotton.
A kilogram of silver weighs more.

Same. That's an old trick question but feathers were more commonly used than cotton.
There all one Pound of something therefore the all weigh the same.
the lead clearly weighs more...
A 200 pound man weighs more.
It depends on whether you have a huge pile of gold and a tine bit of silver, or a huge pile of silver and a tiny bit of gold. Gold has a higher density, so if you have the same volumes, then the gold will have the greater mass.
