In terms of the physical effort required, lifting 40 pounds of feathers would be more challenging than lifting 40 pounds of lead. This is because feathers are less dense than lead, so 40 pounds of feathers would take up a much larger volume and require more energy to lift. However, from a purely numerical standpoint, lifting 40 pounds is the same regardless of the material being lifted.
There are 2000 pounds in a ton (US) or 2240 pounds in a ton (UK). It does not matter if it is lead, gold, paper, or feathers - a ton is a ton.
They weigh the same, both are 100 pounds in weight.
One kilogram of lead is denser than one kilogram of feathers, so it takes up less space. This makes it easier to carry the lead compared to the same weight of feathers, which would occupy much more volume and be more cumbersome.
A kilogram of feathers is 1kg 2.3 pounds of lead is 1.04326245 kilograms Using Newton's First Law We have that Fnet = ma This meaning that the net force of the 2 items is due to the product of the objects mass and the acceleration which acts upon it. The result is measured in Newtons. The acceleration in this case is gravity which is 9.8 m/s2 average here in the earth, this value changes due to the position the object is in the earth, the closer you are to the equator the closer you are to 9.8 m/s2. Now We have that 1kg of feathers weights = (1kg) * (9.8m/s2) = 9.8 N 1.04326245 kg of lead weights = (1.04326245kg) * (9.8m/s2) = 10.22397201 N Now we can conclude that 2.3 lbs of lead weight more than 1kg of feathers.
Lead is more dense and compact than feathers, so 1kg of lead would take up less space and would be easier to carry around in a smaller package. Feathers are lighter and bulkier, so they would occupy more space and be more awkward to carry.
Not easier because of the quantity or mass of feathers are larger than 40 lbs of lead
There are 2000 pounds in a ton (US) or 2240 pounds in a ton (UK). It does not matter if it is lead, gold, paper, or feathers - a ton is a ton.
Because pounds measure weight. A pound of feathers would be a whole lot bigger than a pound of lead.
Pounds of what? Feathers, lead, milk . . . .?
They weigh the same, both are 100 pounds in weight.
64,000 pounds = 32 tons, and it doesn't matter if it's 64,000 pounds of water, lead or feathers.

Depends on whether it's a cubic foot of feathers or a cubic foot of lead.
That depends on what this is a half-cubic foot OF. Feathers? Lead? Helium? It makes a difference.
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.
. . . is that a bushel of feathers, a bushel of cotton, a bushel of wheat, or a bushel of lead pellets? (A bushel is a volume, not a weight.)
