One, the correct term is "Which weighs more: a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?"
Two, the answer is that they weigh exactly the same, because they both weigh a pound.
Assuming you meant pound of lead, they weigh the same.
it is a pound of everything. so all will have the same weight.
They are the same weight but the feathers take up a lot more space.
they have the same weight you would only have a different quantity of the two
A pound is an EXACT measure of weight. So if two things weigh a pound they both weigh the same. As feathers are light, it will take allot of them to make a pound as compared to bricks, (which are heavy) but when you have measured out a pound of each of them, the amounts you have measured are the same weight.
They both weigh one pound and are therefore the same weight. The answer to the questions is no.
They all weigh the same.
OK... This is often asked as a joke. You got to pay attention to the question to answer correctly. In both cases we are talking of a pound, so the answer is "they weigh the same: a pound!". Many people will answer incorrectly and answer lead because they know that one feather or two are light and a piece of lead is heavy. But the clue is in the words "a pound of" in this case.
The number of lead balls required to make one pound is determined by the weight of each individual lead ball. Since lead has a specific density, the size and volume of the balls will dictate how many are needed to reach a total weight of one pound. For example, smaller lead balls will require more to reach one pound compared to larger ones. Thus, the relationship between the size of the balls and the total weight is key in this determination.
they both weigh the same because a pound of sand and a pound of lead will still weigh a pound
The feathers "take up more room" than the lead. It would be hard to compress the feathers to make them as dense as lead. The feathers have more volume.
1 pound = 1 pound
