Lead is more dense than feathers. It doesn't matter how much you have of either one. A chip of lead is more dense than a 10-mile convoy of trucks loaded with feathers.
Both 1 kg of feathers and 1 kg of lead have the same mass, which is 1 kilogram. However, feathers have a much lower density than lead, meaning that 1 kg of feathers will occupy a significantly greater volume than 1 kg of lead. Therefore, 1 kg of feathers has a greater volume than 1 kg of lead.
The mass of feathers is far greater than the lead. amount = mass So you will have a huge pile of feathers compared to a small chunk of lead to equal a pound
A pound of feathers because feathers are less dense than lead and therefore take up more volume for the same mass.
Because pounds measure weight. A pound of feathers would be a whole lot bigger than a pound of lead.
