Which is Heavier?

[SeasonalTNT]

Which is heavier, 16 ounces of gold, or 16 ounces of feathers?

The answer is not what the simple mind expects.

I'm not sure but I think 16 ounces of gold.
Seems like a trick question. ):

[CheesE]

Wow, seasonal, you rwally did make a new thread...

My answer is that they weigh the SAME.
PM me for explanation :)

[FlippysKnife]

None are heavier, there both light

[SLAGATHOR]

Gold itself is a very light substance. It's the stuff mixed with the gold that gives it it's solid look in chains and stuff.

[SeasonalTNT]

The answer isn't that they're both the same.

Think about why I used 16 ounces, and not 1 pound.

[Calisniper13]

They both weigh 16 ounces.

U riped it from my thread :\

O.o Never heard of that before...
s\Since I have no idea what pounds and ounces are, ill say that they both weigh the evuivalent of a hypothecal whale compared to a bouquet, minus the gravitational imbalance caused by the fluctuations in radiation.

they both weight the same.

Lolwut? I got my lil bro to answer for me. Cause he loves gold necklaces and he says Gold is heavy. >.>

[TheZombie]

They both weigh a pound so neither is heavier

fluid ounces?

If so, gold weighs more.

If not, they weigh the same.

[FoxSamus]

The answer is the feathers.
The feathers because if you spread them out, there would be more gravity pulling on them.
I dunno my idea might be wrong, but I know my answer is right.
Also, there would be a lot more feathers then tiny pieces of gold.

[Maurinho]

they're the same weight just for a few numbers are differents

[SeasonalTNT]

Lol, tone.

Metals are measured in troy ounces, which have 12 ounces to a pound, instead of 16. Therefore, the gold is heavier because 16 ounces of gold is 4/3 of a pound, as opposed to 16 ounces of feathers, which is 1 pound.

Known this answer since 3rd grade when someone pulled it on me.
Seasonal already ruined it.

[JoKeR]

I think gold because gold is the heaviest element or whatever

Umm, no.
The force of gravity isnt affected by the volume/space something takes up.
for example, if you spread yourself out, would you have more mass?

And seasonal, I had no idea what you are saying since I dont know what ounces are.
I only learned about grams,kilograms ...

They still weigh the same.

16 = 16 >.>

[chinaboy]

[sanwichmaker]

wow, neither, 16 ounces of gold is one pound... 16 ounces of feathers is also a pound.... what a useless post..... <.<

Your probably from a European country.. Ounces is part of the American standard system of mesurement.. Ask your teacher about it

16 = 16 >.>

Lol, idiot.

Metals are measure differently, while still called ounces.

Feathers are not metal >_>
