You screwed this one up. It's what weighs more, a pound of gold or a pound of feathers. Feathers weigh more because gold is measured in troy pounds which is lighter than standard pounds.

They both weight the same, 1 lbf.
However, the pound of feathers would take up far more space than the lead. As a result, it is likely that a package containing a pound of feathers would weigh more than a package containing a pound of lead, because the package would have to be considerably larger.

a pound is a pound. but how much is in that pound is a better question.... Lead, not much, feathers, a whole lot more.

A pound of anything always weighs a pound. Such a silly question.
