Same. That's an old trick question but feathers were more commonly used than cotton.

∙ 12y agoprecious metals like gold are measured in "troy" weight. a troy pound is 12 troy ounces.
so a pound of gold would weigh 12 ounces whilst a pound of feathers would weigh 16 ounces

Which one is heavier 2kg 0f cotton or 1.5 kg of iron?
When we say that 1 kg of iron / cotton, we mean that it is the apparent weight. As they are already displacing air and by Archimedes' Principle they both are acted upon by the buoyant force directly proportional to the weight of air they displaced, and cotton displaces more air, therefore its actual weight is more than actual weight of iron.
Is silver heavier than iron?
Yes, silver is heavier than iron. One atom of iron has a mass of 55.85 amu (atomic mass units). One atom of silver has a mass of 107.87 amu. All of this information is easily found on a periodic table.

Why is steel denser then iron?
Density is mass divided by volume. If we assume the mass of the iron and the cotton is the same, you will find that the iron will occupy less space (less volume) than that of the cotton. The value of a mass divided by a small volume is higher than the value of the same mass divided by a larger volume. If we assume the volume of both the iron and the cotton is the same, you will also find that the mass of the iron will be higher than the mass of the cotton. The value of a large mass divided by a volume is larger than the value of a small mass divided by the same volume. In both assumptions, the value of mass divided by volume for the iron is higher than the value of mass divided by volume for the cotton. Since density is mass divided by volume, the density of iron is therefore higher than the density of cotton.
Which is heavier - a pound or 100 grams?
One pound is is about 4.5 times heavier than 100 grams.
What is heavier a one pound feather or a one pound nail?
They weigh the same.
1 pound of pure cotton is heavier than 1 pound of gold why?
It is not not correct that one pund of pure cotton weighs over one pound of pure gold because pounds is a measurement of wight. However, a measurement of mass, like grams, could make it seem like this because mass is often confused with weight. Weight would be different on another planet because the gravity is pulling you down more. However, mass, a measure of desity and inertia, would stay the same. A pound of cotton is heavier than a pound of gold as the pure cotton is weighed by avoirdupois pound. That consists of 16 ounces. whereas gold being a metal is weighed by troy pound. Its equivalent to 12 ounces.
Which one is heavier a pound of led or a pound of feathers?
They're the same amount.
Which one is heavier 1kg iron or 1 kg cotton in vacuum?
The weight of a body in air is its apparent weight because the body body remains immersed in air . Therefore apparent weight of 1kg cotton and one kg iron is same .But volume of 1 kg cotton is greater than the volume of 1 iron
What is bigger a kilo gram or a pound?
