An 11 1/2 inch wide plank is cut in such a way that the width is in the tangential direction of the annual rings. Compute the change in width (distance and shrinkage or expansion) as the moisture content changes from 21% to 34%. (The fiber saturation point is 30% and shrinkage is 7.5% in drying from the FSP to oven dry in the tangential direction.
