6.39 A particular machine part is subjected in service to a maximum load of 10 kN. With the thought of providing a safety factor of 1.5, it is designed to withstand a load of 15 kN. If the maximum load encountered in various applications is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 2 kN, and if part strength is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1.5 kN, what failure percentage would be expected in service? [Ans.: 2.3%]
