What does Modulus of Rupture (MOR) measure in timber?
💡 Hint: Think about how we test materials under load.
True or False: The Modulus of Elasticity (MOE) indicates how much a material can twist.
💡 Hint: Focus on the bending aspect of this property.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A wooden beam with a cross-section of 60 mm x 120 mm and a span of 2 meters fails under a load of 2500 N. Calculate the MOR and discuss its structural implications.
💡 Hint: Break down the formula into its components to calculate each part carefully.
If two beams of different depths are tested under the same load, predict how their deflections will differ and justify your reasoning based on MOE and strength.
💡 Hint: Use examples from previous calculations to demonstrate the concept.
