how many pounds can a sixteen penny nail hold.?

It can only hold the weight of 16 pennies.  He-He.  Just kidding.  Actually, that's a good question.  I've been a carpenter all my life and to tell you the truth, a 16d nail is one damn strong piece of metal.  Ever pull one out of a piece of lumber that was shot in with an air gun?  It'll make you grunt, that's for sure!  One that's galvanized is even more difficult.  And if it's a ring-shanked nail?  Forget it.  It's in the lumber until the wood rots.  It's really not a matter of how many pounds it can hold.  It's a matter of its bonding power.  You can bend a 16d nail quite easily, but after it penetrates into a 2 x 4, for example, it's meant to stay, depending on how it was put to use "structurally".

easy math\n\nI bet it has a 1/2 inch rim around it so only psi on that part. \n\n55 gals x 8 lbs per so about 400 pounds.\n\nabout 120 inches around so round to 100, 4 psi

Avoirdupois = 16\nTroy = 12\n\nIf you are talking 'avoirdupois' which is the normal everyday weight measurement we use then there are 16 ounces to a pound.\n\nHowever, there are 12 troy ounces to a troy pound. The troy system is usually applicable when weighing precious metals, black powder, and gemstones.

72 divided by 16 oz.that are in one pound= 4 pounds, there are 8 ounces left over, so 4lb. 8 oz, or 4.5 lbs

well there are 28 grams in an ounce. so multiply that by 16. (for 16 oz.) 448 grams in a lb. I am not sure what you really need to know but this is all I can tell you

There are 16 oz in 1 lb, so easiest way to do this is to convert the gross weight to 10lb 21 oz, then subtract 1lb 15oz to get 9lb 6oz (answer)

Look it up on Ebay. Type in 1918 copper penny, click on the completed listings, and that should give you a good idea of how much it would be worth. \n\nActually I just did it and I saw one going for .91...it didn't sell though.

Here's a picture compared to a penny to give you an idea of size.\n\nI hope the ones you find are all dead.

1 lb = 16 oz therefore you have\n5.5 * 16 = 88 oz of raisins\nIf each package only holds 9 oz then you must divide 88 by 9\n\n88/9 = 9.7777777\n\nSo, 5.5 lbs of raisins will completely fill 9 packages

Sixteen is a composite number, and a square number, being 42 = 4 × 4. It is the tiniest number with exactly five divisors, its proper divisors being 1, 2, 4 and 8. It is the fourth power of two. For this reason, 16 was used in weighing light objects in several cultures. The British used to have 16 ounces in one pound, the Chinese used to have 16 liangs in one jin. In old days, weighing was done with a beam balance to make equal splits. It would be easier to split a heap of grains into sixteen equal parts through successive divisions than to split into ten parts. Chinese Taoists did finger computation on the trigrams and hexagrams by counting the finger tips and joints of the fingers with the tip of the thumb. Each hand can count up to 16 in such manner. The Chinese abacus uses two upper beads to represent the 5's and 5 lower beads to represent the 1's, the 7 beads can represent from a hexadecimal digit from 0 to 15 in each column.\nSixteen is the only integer that equals mn and nm, for some unequal integral m and n (m=4, n=2, or vice versa). It has this property because . It is also equal to 2↑↑3, (using Knuth's up-arrow notation).\n15 and 16 form a Ruth-Aaron pair under the second definition in which repeated prime factors are counted as often as they occur.\n16 is a centered pentagonal number.\n16 is the base of the hexadecimal number system, which is used extensively in computer science.
