Neither, although if it came down to it, I'd rather be hit with  
Whitebellied Hottness
a 1lb bag of feathers then a 1lb bag of cement.

They both weigh 1lb although if dropped from a height the

cement might land first because of wind resistance.

They weigh the same. Both are weighed in Avoirdupois weight,

and are equal to 5,700 grains.

However, I would rather get hit over the head with a pound of feathers  
instead of the other two.

The same - unless we are talking about net weight = 1LB and

gross weight is the amount we are comparing..

If we are talking net weigh = 1 LB - just the weight of the contents, then

the bag of feathers will weigh more - as the bag will be MUCH larger than  
Viewed 7287 times
the bag containing the cement.  
 
eg:  
 
1LB of cement + 3 ounces of paper bag  
1LB of feathers + 10 ounces of huge paper bag  
 
Net weight identical but gross weight (+packaging) = heavier on the  
feathers :)

the 1lb bag of cement. the density in the cement causes it to

weight more.

Of course, a pound is a pound; however, a pound of feathers has  
Shy-Shy or Shy
more volume than a pound of cement, so the buoyancy of the air will reduce

its weight by a trifle more, maybe 0.05 lb.
