Can you charge your phone with solar power?

they sell solar phone chargers, but if it's less than 4x4 inches i wouldn't buy it because it won't provide enough power to charge it


How many tons can a half ton truck carry?

"Half ton truck" is an informal (i.e. the name is unregulated) class of vehicles that can carry a payload of at least 1000 pounds but not more than 2000 pounds. Actual payload capacity varies among models. For example, when Popular Mechanics compared five 2009 pickup trucks in that class, they found the following payload capacities: Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie Crew 4x4 -- 1178 pounds payload (0.59 ton) Ford F-150 Supercrew Lariat 4x4 -- 1279 pounds payload (0.64 ton) Toyota Tundra Crewmax SR5 4x4 -- 1362 pounds payload (0.68 ton) Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab LTZ 4x4 --- 1504 pounds payload (0.75 ton) Nissan Titan Pro-4x 4x4 -- 1728 pounds payload (0.86 ton) So payload varied from 59% of a ton to 86% of a ton in this competitive grouping.


How much does a 4x4 wood post weigh?

An exact answer to your question is difficult because there are many factors that must be taken into account, but we can guestimate an answer. Different types of wood have different densities. I believe that most of the posts sold in home improvement stores like Home Depot or Lowe's are Southern Yellow Pine or Cedar. You have to also take into account the moisture content of the wood. Most treated wood sold at home improvement stores is Grade 2 and, when green, has a moisture content of 17% to 20%. You can feel the heaviness and moisture in the wood when you pick up a fresh post. This moisture in the wood adds a lot of weight. And, of course, the length of the post makes a difference. For this example, we'll assume an 8' post. Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) has a density of 36 to 41 pounds per cubic foot with a 20% moisture content. Naturally, as the wood dries out and with low humidity, it will weigh less. We'll use an average of 38.5 pounds per cu.ft. Calculate the volume of wood. Actual (not nominal) size of the post is 3.5" x 3.5" x 96" = 1176 cubic inches. One cubic foot = 12" x 12" x 12" = 1728 cubic inches. Divide 1176 cu.in. by 1728 cu.in. = 0.6806 cubic feet. Calculate weight. 0.6806 cu.ft. x 38.5 pounds per cu.ft. = 26.20 pounds. So, a 8' 4x4 post made out of SYP with a moisture content of around 20% weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 26 pounds. HTH.


4 pounds equals how many ounces?

64 oz. One pound equals to 16 ounces and one ounce equals 0.06 of a pound. Also this relates only to solid (weight) ounces. There are two different kinds of ounces, ounces of weight/mass and ounces of volume (fluid). This can change when you are using the ounces to measure a non-liquid such as flour or sugar since the weight of dry items is not the same as their volume. An ounce of volume is called a "fluid ounce."
