Answer:
The value of critical length = 3.46 mm
The value of volume of fraction of fibers = 0.43
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
= 800 M pa
D = 0.017 mm
L = 2.3 mm
= 5500 M pa
= 18 M pa
= 13.5 M pa
(a) Critical fiber length is given by

Put all the values in above equation we get

mm
This is the value of critical length.
(b).Since this critical length is greater than fiber length Than the volume fraction of fibers is given by

Put all the values in above formula we get

= 0.43
This is the value of volume of fraction of fibers.
