      They are both equal in weight which is one pound and one pound, so in case one decides to place them on balance one will achieve a level plane.

      A pound of rocks on earth (not in a vacuum) is slightly heavier than a pound of feathers; this is because 'rocks' obviously have a higher density than 'feathers', assuming the feathers are loosely held and not tightly packed. and it can also be this it's 1 pound So mass would be the same of 1 poundRead more

      and it can also be this

      it’s 1 pound So mass would be the same of 1 pound of feathers and rocks

      but if it’s weight and not in vacuum

      then as buoyant force on feather would be more because it’s volume ×pg As volume occupied by 1 pound would be more
      so due to more buoyant force it has less weight

      so it think it can be the same for both

      Neither is heavier 'cause they all have the same weight.

      Neither is heavier ’cause they all have the same weight.
