You could quickly find the answer in a materials handbook.
Neither of the poster's 2 links contains information for 4x4 - I see rafters and 2 x 6's but not 4 x 4 posts.
Having done this for my homework assignments so many times, I always used the materials book in the library.

Vertically, or horizontally?
If horizontally, how long is it?
What kind of wood?
Sorry, couldn't find a table on strength of materials for woods...
