It's time to put this debate to rest.
which is heavier?
a kilogram of steel? or a kilogram of feathers?
>>
Steel obviously
>>
Steel experiences less buoyancy.
>>
>>8754989
steel is less floaty, so feathers
>>
>>8754989
Steel, because steel is heavier than feathers.

A megaton of feathers would be heavier than both.

What, steel is heavier than feathers, you idiot. Anyone can see that.
>>
a kg of steel would fall faster so it must be heavier

This is the only truth.

NOW STOP OPPRESSING ME WITH QUESTIONS DELIBERATELY COMPLICATED TO KEEP US WOMYN DOWN BECAUSE WE'RE SMARTER AND THAT FRIGHTENS YOU

i get really mad whenever i watch limmy videos on youtube because 90% of the comments are retarded americans going "durr i can't understand their language"
why are americans such brainlets
>>
>>8755275
no you're retard. steel is heavier than feathers
>>
Depends where they are, that's all. If they were both measured in the same location at the same time (somehow) they would weigh the same.
>>
Steel, being more dense and mailable, could be closer to the gravitational reference object. Steel can be heavier.
>>
well the steel is heavier, ya daft bastard
>>
>>8754989
Steel.

Assuming a sphere Earth, your typical pile of feathers vs your typical steel ingot.

The center of mass of the pile of feathers will be further from the center of the earth than the center of mass of the steel ingot. The steel ingot will therefore weigh more.
>>
>>8754989
They're both a kilogram, so just as heavy
>>
>>8754989
It's actually feathers.

Weight depends on the pull of gravity. A kilogram of feathers have a higher volume for gravity to act on and hence weighs higher. A kilogram of feathers have more mass than Steel.

How much volume would a kilogram of feathers occupy, assuming we don't crush them and simply let them set.

>not accounting for air buoyancy

Feathers are lighter because the air doesn't push them down as hard
>>
>>8754989
Why did I read this in a weird accent?
>>
Feathers.

The feathers also carry the weight of what you had to do to the poor birds
>>
>>8754989
They're both the same, there wluld just be alot more feathers to make up the weight
>>
>>8755875
what? A kilogram of feathers has the same mass as a kilogram of steel. Weight is directly dependant on mass (F=ma anyone?).
This thread is pure troll

>>8755937
The one and only right answer. Kek'd.
>>
>>8754989
The feathers are heavier. This is due to the microgravitational forces of the top of the steel pulling on the center. Steel is heavier than feathers so the force acting on it is greater, counteracting some of the Earth's pull.
>>
>>8754989
No difference in weight, however de volume is a huge difference.
>>
>>8755112
But he's right, the steel is heavier than feathers. Look at the scale: the 1kg of steel is on a tiny plate, and the "1kg" of feathers is on a huge plate.
so the steel is heavier
>>8755325
i'm not a native speaker, and to me his accent just adds another level of comedic value to the videos. i understand about 60% of the words and fill in the rest through context. However, there's one video ("what's yer hing") where their accents are so thick i literally can't understand anything.

mass != weight != volume

>>
>>8754989
kilogram of steel is heavier of course it is, even a fine plate of steel could cut a feather, so it is harder, and this means that the molecules are held together more closely, so more matter for the same mass

If I dropped a kilogram of steel and then a kilogram of feathers on your head which would you feel was heavier?
