Question

Wat weighs more a pound of lead or a pound of feathers

Answer 1

If they both mass a pound then lead will weigh more because air buoyancy will make the feathers weigh less.

Answer 2

The answer: the same.

The explanation: because gravity pushes on the feathers and on the lead at the same acceleration.  

Answer 3

they weigh the same silly!

Answer 4

hmmmmm,,,,,,sounds the same weight to me

Answer 5

This is a loaded question. I mean you have to think of this question as the glass half empty or the glass half full. Either way you look at it they are both equal.

Answer 6

There's another answer to this question. Metals (usually precious or semi-precious metals) are weighed with Troy pounds, while the standard 16oz pound we generally use is called an avoirdupois pound. A Troy ounce weighs more than an avoirdupois ounce, but the averdupois pound weighs more.

One troy ounce is exactly 31.1034768 g

One troy pound is ≈ 373.24 g

The international avoirdupois ounce is exactly 28.349523125 grams by definition

One avoirdupois pound is 453.592368 grams

Answer 7

Tricky question - they're the same.  The mass amount is different.

Answer 8

They weigh the same.  Their mass is the same.  Their density is not the same.   Their resistance to moving in air is not the same.

Answer 9

They weigh the same...but a pound of Yahoo Answers weighs less!!
