A wood element had 150 mm diameter (radial direction) and a length of 1 m. The moisture content of the wood is 130% when it was prepared. After seasoning, the moisture content was reduced to 5%. Find the diameter and length of the seasoned element if the moisture- shrinkage relation follows the figure below. (Hint: you should use the curve for radial shrinkage for diameter and longitudinal shrinkage for length change in figure, FSP=28% according to the figure)

Question
A wood element had 150 mm diameter (radial direction) and a length of 1 m. The moisture
content of the wood is 130% when it was prepared. After seasoning, the moisture content was
reduced to 5%.
Find the diameter and length of the seasoned element if the moisture- shrinkage relation
follows the figure below.
(Hint: you should use the curve for radial shrinkage for diameter and longitudinal shrinkage for
length change in figure, FSP=28% according to the figure)
