The following statements (S1 and S2) pertain to the effect of moisture content in wood.
Comment on the correctness of the statements
S1: The mechanical properties of wood are not materially affected by a reduction of the moisture content upto the Fibre Saturation Point.
S2: Shrinkage of wood in the longitudinal direction is greater when compared to the radial and tangential directions, for a change in the moisture content from the Fibre Saturation Point to Oven dry.
