Fiberglass Insulation, R Value of 3.14. Pine board has an R Value of 1.74
A yellow pine 2x4 can swell to about 0.1% to 0.2% of the original size. It is important to note the swelling and shrinkage of any type of wood before using it.Ê
A 2X4 would be a stud, not a board. Weight depends on the length and species, if it is pressure treated or not. 8ft. hem-fir 2X4 is about 8 pounds or so.
The color identifies them as "stud grade" pine.
2x4's weigh approximately 1.21 pounds per foot. So an 8 Foot 2x4 = 9.68 pounds 12 Foot 2x4 = 14.52 pounds 14 Foot 2x4 = 16.94 pounds Just take 1.21 pounds times the length of the board and this will give it it's overall weight. This is for pine boards.
A 2x4 is simply a piece of wood- ANY wood- that is 1 1⁄2 inches by 3 1⁄2 inches. They are commonly made from pine, fir or spruce, but COULD be any wood.
It varies. Is it yellow pine,spruce,and wet or dry ? A 2X4 Spruce/ Pine/ Fir KD 1.375 lbs per foot ( Used for interior building in projects New England ) 2x4 Pressure Treated southern yellow Pine 2.175 lbs per foot. (Used for exterior building projects ie. Deck railings) That actual weight will vary depending on exactly which species, and how dry / wet the wood is. But these are generally excepted weights we use in calculating shipping weight for these types of wood.

It varies with the thickness of the insulation Generally, about R-3 per inch. 3 1/2" for a 2x4 stud cavity is R-11. 5 1/2" for a 2x6 stud cavity is R-19. But if there is any airflow it greatly reduces the insulating value. Also, the thermal bridging of wood structures reduces the performance of fiberglass insulation.
Fender used pine which is hilarious in today's standards. I've heard that George Beauchamp and the guys at Rickenbacker made the first ever guitar using a single 2x4 piece of wood and wound the very first single coil pickup using a washing machine.
