Question:
It is desired to fabricate a continuous and aligned glass fiber-reinforced polyester having a tensile strength of at least 1250 MPa (180,000 psi) in the longitudinal direction. The maximum possible specific gravity is 1.80. Using the following data, determine whether such a composite is possible. Justify your decision. Assume a value of 20 MPa for the stress on the matrix at fiber failure?

I am an experienced Mathematics and Statistics tutor with 10 years of experience teaching students and working professionals. I love teaching students who are passionate to learn subjects or wants to understand any mathematics and statistics concept at graduation or master’s level. I have worked with thousands of students in my teaching career. I have helped students deal with difficult topics and subjects like Calculus, Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, Complex analysis, Graph theory, Hypothesis testing, Probability, Statistical Inference and more. After learning from me, students have found Mathematics and Statistics not dull but a fun subject. I can handle almost all curriculum of mathematics. I did B.Sc (mathematics), M.Sc (mathematics), M.Tech (IT) and am also Gate (CS) qualified. I have worked in various college and school and also provided online tutoring to American and Canadian students. I look forward to discussing with you and make learning a meaningful and purposeful
