One more then ill stop Does a pound of gold or a pound of feathers weight more?

Astolfoloverforever:

Feathers are light as can be :/ but somehow they level out

MrMudd183:

In the Troy system only 12 ounces equal a pound. 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. source https://www.mygemologist.com/learn/jewelry-metals/measuring-gold-weight/

cathrinerose23:

NAGC:

@MrMudd183 are you googling

cathrinerose23:

probably

MrMudd183:

that was the only one. and a it depends on how the gold is shaped, if it is a nugget or a brick

Astolfoloverforever:

I saw the source

NAGC:

that wasn't the answer anyway

MrMudd183:

if it's a nugget, then feathers. if bricks, than it's the bricks that are heavier

NAGC:

The feathers. A pound of feathers is measured in avoirdupois weight, in which one pound equals 16 ounces. Precious metals are measured in troy weight, in which one pound equals 12 ounces. However, the ounces are not measured in the same way. In avoirdupois weight, one ounce = 437.5 grains. In troy weight, one ounce = 480 grains. So, one pound of feathers weighs (16)x(437.5 grains) = 7,000 grains. One pound of gold weighs (12)x(480 grains) = 5,760 grains. you did google

MrMudd183:

not that
