Question

A wood specimen was subjected to bending until failure by applying a load
in the middle of its span. The specimen has a cross section of 1 in. * 1 in.
(actual dimensions) and a span of 14 in. between the simple supports. The
load and the deflection in the middle of the span were recorded as shown in
Table P10.22.
a. Using a computer spreadsheet program, plot the load–deflection
relationship.
b. Plot the proportional limit on the graph.
c. Calculate the modulus of rupture (flexure strength).
