That will depend on the distance between the points where the beam is supported, as well as the type of wood.

Will a 6 x 12 wood beam span 12'?
Only if it is at least 12' long.
What is the weight of a 9 x 12 envelope?
It would depend on the type of paper as well as the thickness. For example, wood pulp paper would weigh much more than rice paper.
What is the difference between weight and capacity?
Capacity is referring to volume, not weight. Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object. 1 pound of lead and one pound of wood have the same weight (1 lb) but they have very different volumes (capacities).
What part of the block of wood remains immersed in water of density 1000kg per cm cube when the block of wood placed in water has density 700 Kg per m cube?
-- The aggregate density of the wood block is 700/1000 = 0.7 the density of water. -- So, as soon as the wood has displaced 0.7 of its volume in water, it has displaced its entire weight in water, and floats. -- The wood floats with 0.7 of its volume below the surface and 0.3 of its volume above it.
Does 2 kg solid iron brick have twice as much volume as 1 kg solid block of wood?
It depends, what type of wood as different types have different masses :)
How much weight will a .125 inch wood screw support?
it can hold as much weight as it can handle
What size beam you need to support a 10 ft span load bearing wall?
Depends on how much weight is above it!! but on 1 -2 story wood framed structures triple 2x12's glued and nailed will do the trick
Wood or steel beam to support a roof ceiling or floor?
There are two criteria for making the decision. 1) How much weight is the beam carrying. Wood beams look great and can carry most residential loads. Commercial buildings often use steel beams to carry the snow wind and floor loads, but heavy timber can also do the trick. 2) How should the wood or steel beam look? If the building is prettier using wood, that might be the way to go. If steel looks better - use steel. Sometimes a combination of wood and steel is perfect.
What are saw horses used for?
Primarily as a beam to support a board or wood so it can be sawed.
How much weight can a 4 x 4 support?
Typically wood can support 600 pounds per square inch. A 4 by 4 piece of wood depending on length could support up to 7,000 pounds.
How thick does a wood beam need to be to support 15 kilos perpendicular to the grain?
This depends on the type of wood and how evenly distributed both the load and the supports for the piece of wood are.
How much does a 4x12 wood beam weigh?
Whats it made of?
How much weight can an average apartment balcony support?

How much weight can a piece of wood hold that is one and a half inches thick twenty-nine inches in length and ten and a half inches wide?
If you support it at the ends and load it in the middle which is worst case, it can hold about 650 pounds before breaking. The answer involves engineering analysis of strength of materials and beam theory.
What is a Center post in carpentry?
It's a wood, or metal post that's located in the center under a beam. It usually supports a lot of weight.
What is the main advantage of a flitch beam?
the main advantage of flitch beam is to strengthen the beam and decrease the deflection (∆) in the beam by decreasing elasticity (E) because the elasticity of steel is much bigger than a wood beam. their ratio is about 15 to 20 (n=15 to 20).
How much weight will hard wood cribbing support?
You need to know the compression strength perpendicular to grain direction of that species of hardwood to figure it out. Somewhere around 1,200psi.
