Compute the longitudinal tensile strength of an aligned glass fiber-epoxy matrix composite in which the average fiber

Question:

Compute the longitudinal tensile strength of an aligned glass fiber-epoxy matrix composite in which the average fiber diameter and length are 0.015 mm (5.9 × 10-4 in.) and 2.0 mm (0.08 in.), respectively, and the volume fraction of fibers is 0.25. Assume that (1) the fiber-matrix bond strength is 100 MPa (14,500 psi), (2) the fracture strength of the fibers is 3500 MPa (5 × 105 psi), and (3) the matrix stress at composite failure is 5.5 MPa (800 psi)?
