A wood pole with a diameter of 10 in. has a moisture content of 5%. The fiber saturation point (FSP) for this wood is 30%. The w

ood shrinks or swells 1% (relative to the green dimensions) 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 55%? b. Would the wood swell or shrink? c. What would be the new diameter?

Answer:

a) Δd(change in wood diameter) = 5%

b) The wood would swell since the moisture content is increasing which will also led to increase in the wood's diameter

C) new diameter (D2) = 10.5 in

Explanation:

Wood pole diameter = 10 inches

moisture content = 5%

FSP = 30%

A) The percentage change in the wood's diameter

note : moisture fluctuations from 5% to 30% causes dimensional changes in the wood but above 30% up to 55% causes no change. hence this formula can be used to calculate percentage change in the wood's diameter

Δd/d = 1/5(30 - 5)

Δd/d = 5%  

Δd = 5%

B) would the wood swell or shrink

The wood would swell since the moisture content is increasing which will also led to increase in the wood's diameter

C) The new diameter of the wood

D2 = D + D( \frac{M1}{100} )

D = initial diameter= 10 in , M1 = initial moisture content = 5%

therefore D2 = 10 + 10( 5/100 )

new diameter (D2) = 10.5 in

what is the relationship between magnetism and electromagnetism and how does this effect voltage in a circuit?
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

A magnetic field of changing intensity perpendicular to a wire will induce a voltage along the length of that wire. The amount of voltage induced depends on the rate of change of the magnetic field flux and the number of turns of wire (if coiled) exposed to the change in flux.

Define Electromechanical systems.
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Electromechanical systems or devices are systems or devices that involves the interaction between electrical systems and mechanical systems in which the motion of mechanical parts is converted to electrical energy or made to interact with energy or in which electrical energy is converted to mechanical energy or interacts with a moving mechanical system

Therefore;

Electromechanical systems convert <u>electrical energy</u> input into a <u>mechanical energy</u> output
