Both a Pound of Iron and a Pound of Air weight the same ... One Pound ... neither is 'heavier.'
Same. That's an old trick question but feathers were more commonly used than cotton.
A pound is much heavier than a pound. 1 pound = 453.59237 grams
It has to do to the pounds per sq inch. A 1 pound bar of iron may be the size of a deck of cards while a pound of feathers would have a higher volume and less density. If you compressed the feathers to be the same dimensions as the iron then they should feel like the same weight.
One pound of stone is heavier than one pound of cotton. While they both weigh the same amount, the density of stone is higher than cotton, so a pound of stone takes up less space and feels heavier.
A troy ounce is about 1.0971 ounces. This is smaller than a pound (16 ounces)

A pound is heavier than a gram. There are approximately 453.592 grams in a pound.
1 pound = 16 ouncesSo a pound is heavier
Precious metals like gold and silver are weighed using the Troy system where there are 12 Troy ounces in a Troy pound and each oz. consists of approximately 31.1 grams. Most other items in English-speaking countries are weighed using the Avoirdupois system where there are 16 Avoirdupois ounces in each Avoirdupois pound and each oz. consists of approximately 28.35 grams. Consequently, a Troy pound = 373.2 grams and an Avoirdupois pound = 453.6 grams. So, an ounce of gold is heavier than and ounce of iron, but a pound of iron is heavier than a pound of gold.
I think an pound is heavier is because an ounce is what you add to a pound and a ponds is what you get
Same. That's an old trick question but feathers were more commonly used than cotton.
Iron is heavier because iron is a metal and metals are heavier but silica is not a metal so silica is lighter than iron.
