How many cups are in a pound of dog food?
Q. I want to figure out how long our food will last, so how many cups are in a pound of dog food? Thanks! It's a super premium food of good quality, all natural, no fillers. It's called Earth Blend in case you want to look it up. It's a 40lb bag. Pencil eraser sized bits.

A. It's actually highly variable by kibble size and density. And I do mean highly variable. Take a look around a pet store (especially one with a mix of great quality and low quality brands) and note the large differences in the size and fullness of the 5 pound bags of different brands. The only way to get an answer that is close to accurate is to weigh a cup of your specific kibble.

A. If you are willing to go slowly enough, all you need from the solar panel is enough to overcome static friction to get the cart started. I do know that a cyclist cruising along at a moderate speed (say, 10 miles an hour) is expending about 1/10 horsepower. That's 80 watts. So on flat ground, a 100-watt panel push them over the 10 miles in an hour. Such a panel, if square, would be 2 to 2.5 feet on a side, if made with typical contemporary materials. If the terrain is more than gently rolling hills, more power would be needed. I came accross a new, proven and tested home made wind power system and solar power system which eliminates our electricity bills.
