A 100 pound sack of potatoes is 99 percent water by weight. After staying outdoors for a while, it is found to be only 98 percent water. How much does it weigh now?

Hi Doug:
- Bushel is a unit of volume, and is typically associated with unprocessed vegetable or grain products.
- Pound is a unit of weight.
Depending on the product, ie. corn, carrots, potatoes, oats, etc.
The weight will be different for a bushel of each product.
If you reply as a COMMENT to this post with more information I may be able to assist.
Cheers.

Your sleeping bag is usually sold with a stuff sack, which just refers to the (usually nylon) bag that the sleeping bag comes in. If space in your backpack is not an issue, than the provided stuff sack will be fine for you, but keep in mind that it is not totally waterproof because water can enter in through the opening at the top. A compression sack is a separate sack that you can buy if you want to pack your sleeping bag into a smaller size. The compression sack shrinks the size by allowing you to use straps to squeeze any excess air out of the sleeping bag. The straps are connected to a piece of fabric that can cover the opening of the sack and make it completely water-proof.

I had the same problem, so I watched the YouTube video again. You have to squeeze its left hand to activate it. Good luck!

Set it for zero and put on a known weight. A 10 pound bag of sugar or a known weight bowling ball both work well. A sealed bag of rock salt or sand will also work. They will give you a better reading, since they are heavier.A bag of potatoes can be off by a couple of pounds.

Hello Veelec,

As the machine is mixing dough it seems that it is getting sluggish. This is caused by the machine being over loaded. Although it is a 30 qt mixer that is for liquid filled capacity. I do not know what kind of dough you are mixing so I will give you a light to medium dough and then the heavy dough capacity. Also on this machine all dough should be mixed in speed 1 or low to keep from damaging the machine.

You will need to know the Absorption Rate (AR) of you dough, to find this you take the weight of the water divide the weight of the water and multiply by 100.

AR = Water Weight / Flour Weight x 100%

The higher the percent the higher the capacity the lower the percent the lower the capacity. Also the temperature of the water will have to be considered as the colder the water the harder the dough it is to mix the dough the batch should be reduced by 15% to 20% for water temperature between 65-75 degrees.

For a Light to Medium dough with a 60% AR the unit capacity is 45 pounds in first speed.
For a Heavy dough at 55% the units capacity is 30 pounds in first speed.

The above capacities are for bread doughs, if you are doing pizza dough, dough nut dough or wheat dough please post back to this thread and I will help you to find the capacities.

I hope that I have helped you with your problem and would like to thank you for using FixYa to find a solution to your problem.

Instructions Things You'll Need:

• Power supply

1. Press the "Clock" button, then the correct number buttons to set the desired time. Press "Clock" again to confirm.
   
2. Press "Timer" to set the timer function. Choose the desired countdown time by pressing the number pads, then the "Start/Stop" button. Press "Timer," then "Reset" to cancel the timer.
   
3. Press the number pads to select a cooking time. Press "Power" to use a power less than 100 percent using the number "9" for 90 percent of full power, "8" for 80 percent, "7" for 70 percent, and so forth. Press "Start" to begin cooking.
   
4. Press "Defrost by Weight" to defrost a food item by the weight of the item. Enter the weight of the item, then touch "Start" to begin. Enter the food weight by pounds and ounces, using a "0" for a decimal. For instance, if the food weighs 1 pound, 2 ounces, enter "1," "0," "2," then "Start".
   
5. Select "Speed Defrost" to defrost food quickly. Enter the desired cooking time and press "Start."
   

1 kilo is non-water

at 99% Water weight, 1 kilo is 1 % Thus 100 kilos total

at 98% Water Weight 1 kilo is 2% thus 50 kilos total.

Answer: 50 Kilos

Thank you! I found the reset button and now it works again.

I also need the clip! Have you found a solution?
