About 16 fl. oz. or 1 pint of liquid weighs a pound.

And just to clarify somenthing: Its not called a "dry ounce". Volume is "fl. oz." weight is simply "oz". A lot people get this whole ounce thing confused. Every ingredient has a different density, therefore a cup of something will not always weigh the same. A cup of lead pellets and a cup of feathers both occupy 8 fl. oz. of volume. However, the pellets will weigh a lot more than the feathers, and neither one will weigh 8 ounces on a scale.

It is very unfortunate that the people who invented the English system gave the same unit name (ounces) to both volume and weight. They are not interchangable.

A lot of people also confused about the term "dry measure". A dry measure is a measuring cup that is flat on top so that it can be leveled. A liquid measure is a measuring cup that has a spout on it. Both a 1 cup dry measure and 1 cup liquid measure have exactly the same volume: 8 fl. oz.

Does cheese sauce or tar flow more easily?

That depends how thick you like your cheese sauce! If you can pour it out on to your food it's obviously less viscous than most tars. The temperature also affects the speed at which they flow, which is why they warm up the tar in order to spread it on the road. My cheese sauce is just about able to flow when I first make it, but it usually sets when I let it go cold.
