Under normal circumstances, the iron, as the feathers, being loosely packed, will (1) present a much larger volume to lift, and (2) tend to move around when you try to pick them up. This assumes that the feathers are contained in something light - if they aren't contained then it will be effectively impossible to lift them at all. I am also assuming that the iron is in one piece (since it's stated that the feathers are loosely packed, it seems reasonable to assume that if there was anything remarkable about the packing of the iron - for example, it is in the form of ball bearings - then that would be remarked on in the question, which it isn't). Also, if the iron is very hot or very cold, that could make it much more difficult to lift. However, assuming no special circumstances like those, the iron would be fairly easily lifted by a person of average strength (you can get 10kg iron dumbbells for weight training - it may be tiring to lift them if you're not very strong, but most people can) while the feathers would take up so much volume that you would probably need the assistance of another person, or some sort of mechanical device, to lift them - not because they're heavy, just because they're awkward.

Which is easier to lift 1 kilogram of steel or 1 kilogram of feather?

Both are equally easy to lift since they both weigh 1 kilogram. The difference lies in the volume and density of the objects. The steel would be denser and therefore smaller in volume compared to the feathers.

Is 1kg of lead in vacuum heavier than 1kg of feather in vacuum?

No, both 1kg of lead and 1kg of feather would weigh the same in a vacuum because weight depends on mass, and both objects have a mass of 1kg. Gravity affects weight, but in a vacuum, there is no air to provide resistance, so both objects would fall at the same rate.

A 1kg magnet and a 05kg piece of steel are 25 cm apart Then they are attracted together how do they move?

The 1kg magnet will exert a greater force on the 0.5kg piece of steel, causing them to move towards each other. The 0.5kg steel piece will accelerate faster towards the magnet due to the greater force acting on it by the magnet.


Which is heavier to lift a kilogram of stones or a kilogram of feather?

As long as they're both on the same planet, every kilogram weighs the same. Put 1 kg of stones and 1 kg of feathers (or 1 kg of smoke or 1 kg of water or 1kg of dust) on opposite ends of a see-saw, and they balance.
