PLEASE HELP, THIS IS A WOODSHOP QUESTION THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND!! Today we selected our walnut. We laid out the cuts to be made by checking to see if 4 pieces could be cut out of the big, rough stock board. The rough stock board was 8 3/4" wide, the pieces we need to cut are: 1-3/4", 1-3/4", 1-3/4", 2+". if for every table saw cut we make we lose 1/8" (extra woodcut off during cutting for the saw blade kerf) how much wood is leftover for if we make 3 cuts? (the exact size of the 2+" piece that remains?

How much is left over if our milled stock is 8-11/16" wide?

Afoot bridge is made as a simple deck, 4 m long, with a cross section 2 m (wide) and 20 cm thick, and made of wood. the deck is supported at the two ends. the maximum load allowable on the bridge is 10 tons, provided it is uniformly distributed on the deck. to sense this load, a strain gauge is placed at the center of the bridge and its resistance is monitored. if the sensor has a nominal resistance of 350 s2 and a gauge factor of 3.6, what is the reading of the strain gauge at maximum load? the modulus of elasticity for the wood used in the construction is 10 gpa.
