Answer:

A kilogram of lead has a much smaller volume than a kilogram of feathers and hence kilogram of lead displaces less air. The buoyancy in air is equal to the weight of the displaced air. ... As a result, the buoyant force on a kilo of lead is much less than the buoyant force on a kilo of feathers.
