A wood pole with a diameter of 1 inch has a moisture content of 12.5%. The fiber saturation point (FSP) for this wood is 30%. The wood shrinks or swells 5% in the radial direction for every 30% 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 38%? b. Would the wood swell or shrink? c. What would be the new diameter?
