They both weigh the same. A pound of feathers occupies a larger volume compared to a pound of gold but the force of gravitation exerted upon them is the same.

In vacuum both weigh the same but in air due to buoyant upward force on cotton the net weight will reduce depending upon its volume.

I am a feeling that cannot be touched,
But I'm more valuable than gold or clutch.

I'm a force that's strong, yet soft as a dove,
And I'm the reason behind every love.

You can't see me, but you feel me so true,
I'm what makes me say "I love you".

What am I?

You need it more than gold or gems.
For the fresh, corruption stems.
Caught below the sailing scow.
Caught above the workman's brow.
What is it?
