The feathers are weighed using a system called “avoirdupois” with which there are 16 ounces in a pound. This is how we weigh things like food, equipment and ourselves. If you normalize everything to mass a pound of feathers is 454 grams and a pound of gold is 373 grams, therefore the feathers are technically heavier.
So a pound of feathers weighs 453.59 grams approximately and a pound of gold weighs 373.24 approximately. So a pound of feathers weighs more then a pound of gold. Some say gold because it is heavier. Others say they are both a pound so they weigh the same.
A small rock would obviously weigh less than a roomful of soil, but rock is heavier in the sense that a rock of given size weighs more than the same-size sample of soil.
If you mean it as a unit of mass and you are performing your weighing in air or any other medium, the ton of rock will weigh more. The density of steel varies based on the alloying constituents but usually ranges between 7.75 and 8.05 Tonnes per cubic metre. The rock would weigh 255g less than the rock.
Originally Answered: Which is heavier 100 pound of rocks or 100 pound of feather? Both are equal. 100 pound is 100 pound, independent of matter. Of course, quantity of feather will be more than that of other.
They would both be equal in weight. The difference wil be in the density. You would need a lot more feathers to make up a ton than you would need bricks, because bricks are more dense than feathers. As a result, a ton of feathers will be larger in size, and the bricks will take up less space.
But the answer is that they weigh the same. Because it is already mentioned that a feather weighs 1 pound and so a brick also weighs 1 pound. So, their weigh should be equal but there might be more feathers in 1 pound.
Answer: They both weighs same because it is already mentioned that the iron and feather both are one pound.
Measuring Weight in Pounds and OuncesWe write lb for pound and oz for ounce. 1 pound is heavier than 1 ounce. 1 ounce is heavier than 1 gram. 1 pound is lighter than 1 kilogram.
It's an old trick question, people often confuse mass and density and assume steel is the correct answer. Depending on your definition of "heavy", a kilogram of steel can be heavier. That's because a kilogram of feathers is larger, and thus more buyoant in the surrounding air.

Dear student, Since both cotton and pebbles are of equal mass i.e 1kg, so they both weigh same. so, both 1 kg cotton and 1kg pebbles are of same weight.
ANNUAL COTTON PRICE STATISTICSQuotations for color 31, leaf 3, staple 34, mike 35-36 and 43-49, strength readings of 27.0-28.9 grams per tex, uniformity of 81 units in the designated spot markets averaged 58.70 cents per pound for the 2019-2020 season, down from 71.07 cents for the 2018-2019 season.
A simple answer is, both are same weight. Because, a kg of cotton= a kg of stone.
