Students have asked these similar questions
wood timber with a diameter of 1 inch has a
moisture content of 5%. The fiber
saturation point (FSP) for this wood is 28%.
The wood shrinks or swells 1% in the radial
direction for every 5% change in moisture
content below FSP.
a) What would be the percent change in the
wood's diameter if the wood's moisture is
increased to 43%?
b) Would the wood swell or shrink?
c) What would be the new diameter?
A wood pole with a diameter of 1 inch has a moisture content of 5%. The fiber saturation point(FSP) for this wood is 30%. The wood shrinks or swells 1% in the radial direction for every5% change in moisture content below FSP.a) What would be the percent change in the wood’s diameter if the wood’s moisture isincreased to 55%?b) Would the wood swell or shrink?c) What would be the new diameter?
