Students have asked these similar questions
A stud had dimensions of 38 mm X89 mm X2.438 m and a moisture content of 150% when it was prepared. After seasoning, the moisture content was reduced to 7%. If the tangential, radial, and longitudinal directions of the
grains are on the same order as the dimensions indicated above, what are the dimensions of the seasoned stud if the moisture-shrinkage relation follows Figure 10.5?
