19
Q

Stress and strain are two basic terms one encounters in the study of mechanics

20
Q

Wood’s stiffness, or modulus of elasticity, indicates how much it deforms under an applied load

21
Q

Physics is a branch of science concerned with the behavior of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacement, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment.

A

False
Physics- MECHANICS

22
Q

Shear stress causes the portion of wood to move or slide in parallel but in opposite direction

23
Q

Stress referred to as the change in length per unit of length in the direction of stress

A

False
Stress- STRAIN

24
Q

Ss = P/A i s the basic formula in computing stress?

25
Modulus of rupture is the ability of the wood to recover its original size or shape after the applied load is removed
False Rupture - Elasticity
26
The strength of the wood is its ability to resist the applied stress
True
27
The tensile strength of a material is an important property that indicates its ability to withstand tensile stress without failing or deforming permanently
True
28
If the applied force tends to shorten or to compress the wood, the force is acting in tension
False Tension - COMPRESSION
29
What is the source of strength in solid wood?
Wood Fiber
30
What do we called the bending caused by a load?
Deflection
31
It is the ability of the wood to preserve its original size and shape
Stiffness
32
What is the hardest wood in the world with a JHT of 2,295 kg?
Australian Buloke
33
Janka hardness test is use to measure the resistance of sample of wood to denting and wear. Where does Janka came from?
Austrian-born American wood researcher Gabriel Janka
34
This is a strength of wood that resist twisting in the longitudinal axis
Torsion Strength
35
It is a scale that used in testing hardness of wood
Nanometer Scale
36
It is the ability of the wood to resist from splitting?
Cleavage
