Can someone show the complete steps for the following problem and provide the answer:
A 75 cm square composite material made of PLA is reinforced with 6 strands of fiber glass, each 1.25 cm
in diameter. If the elastic modulus of PLA is 900 MPa and that of the glass fiber reinforcements is 80
GPa, estimate the compressive stress in the glass fibers as well as the compressive stress in the PLA
matrix if the applied load in compression is 2.5 MN
