Question: A 3 - point bending test is performed on a circular block of an artificially made bone using electrospun fibers that is 2 6 cm

A 3-point bending test is performed on a circular block of an artificially made bone using electrospun fibers that is 26 cm long, 3.2 cm in diameter and resting on two supports 20 cm apart. The sample breaks when a deflection of 1.27 mm is recorded. Calculate a) the force that caused the fracture and b) the flexural strength. The flexural modulus for the artificial bone is 121 GPa. Assume that no plastic deformation occurs during the loading.
