The specimen represents a filament-reinforced matrix system made from plastic (matrix) and glass (fiber). If there are n fibers, each having a cross-sectional area of A_fand modulus of E_f, embedded in a matrix having a cross-sectional area of Am and modulus of E_m, determine the stress in the matrix and in each fiber when the force P is applied on the specimen.
