Question: 4 . A continuous and aligned fibrous reinforced composite having a cross - sectional area of ( 5 0 0 mathrm { ~mm

4. A continuous and aligned fibrous reinforced composite having a cross-sectional area of \(500\mathrm{~mm}^{2}\) is subjected to an external tensile load of \(78,000\mathrm{~N}\). If it consists \(45\mathrm{vol}\%\) PC matrix and \(55\%\) carbon fibers. The elastic moduli of PC and carbon fibers are 2.4 GPa and 260 GPa , respectively, determine the following
(a) the fiber-matrix load ratio.
(b) The modulus of elasticity of the composite material in the longitudinal direction.
(c) the actual loads carried by both fibers and matrix phases.
(d) the magnitude of the stress on each of the fiber and matrix phases.
(e) what strain is experienced by the composites?
