A representative section from a composite lamina is shown in Figure 2.7 along with the transverse stress and strain distributions across the fiber and matrix materials in the section. The composite section is \(1 \times 1 \mathrm{~mm}\) square, and the diameter of each of the four fibers is \(0.1 \mathrm{~mm}\). Assuming that the dimensions of the section do not change along the longitudinal direction (perpendicular to the page), find the numerical value of the effective transverse modulus for the section.
