Before any meaningfull trials can take place some means of measuring relative hardness of the wood under test with reasonable reliability must be established. Hardness testing of wood is undertaken by the industry using the Janka apparatus where a steel ball of 11.28 mm diameter is forced into the wood under test to half its depth. The force applied (in pounds or kilogram force etc.) is then used as a measure of the material hardness.

...

The respective indentation diameters produced by the hardness tester measured 9 units and 4.5 units. Squaring the indentation diameters gives a 'Downing' hardness value - according to this specific (and crude) test method - of 81 and 20 respectively.

disagree  Al Zaid: footprint es la huella que deja una pisada, acá se refiere a la huella que deja un objeto pesado que cae, en este caso una bola de madera

  -> footprint no se usa solamente para huella de una pisada (ver nota que agregué), pero quizás sí sea mejor "dent".
