A circular FRP composite rod with continuous and aligned fibers has a3 in. diameter. The rod is simply supported with a span of 4 ft and is subjected to three-point bending with a 270 lb center load.a. If the maximum allowable center deflection cannot exceed 0.02 in.,what is the minimum modulus of the composite in order to meet this requirement?b. If the FRP has a modulus as obtained in Part a and the moduli of the matrix and the fibers are 0.5 * 106 psi and 20 * 106 psi, respectively, what is minimum percent of fibers that meets this requirement?
