Define the summerwood and springwood cells in the tree and find the difference between these cells.

Explanation of Solution
Summerwood cells:
The part of an annual ring of the wood that is characterized by compact thick walled cells, formed during the laterpart of the growing season. These cells are called summerwood cells.
Springwood cells:
The part of an annual ring of the wood that is characterized by large thin walled cells, formed during the earlier part of the growing season. These cells are called springwood cells.
Differences between summerwood and springwood cells:
The springwood cells are larger and less dense in substance as compared to summerwood cells.
The summerwood is stiffer and stronger than springwood.
The summerwood is filled with smaller pores as compared to springwood.

- Calculate the BMs (bending moments) at all the joints of the beam shown in Fig.1 using the slope deflection method, draw the resulting shear force diagran and bending moment diagram. The beam is subjected to an UDL of w=65m. L=4.5m, L1= 1.8m. Assume the support at C is pinned, and A and B are roller supports. E = 200 GPa, I = 250x106 mm4.arrow_forwardProblem 2 (A is fixed and C is a pin) Find the reactions and A and C. 10 k- 6 ft 6 ft B A 2 k/ft 15 ftarrow_forward6. A lake with no outlet is fed by a river with a constant flow of 1200 ft3/s. Water evaporates from the surface at a constant rate of 13 ft3/s per square mile of surface area. The surface area varies with the depth h (in feet) as A (square miles) = 4.5 + 5.5h. What is the equilibrium depth of the lake? Below what river discharge (volume flow rate) will the lake dry up?arrow_forward
