A continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced composite is to be produced consisting of 37 vol% aramid fibers and 63 vol% of a polycarbonate matrix; mechanical characteristics of these two materials are as follows: Modulus of Elasticity [GPa(psi)] Tensile Strength [MPa(psi)] Aramid fiber 131 (19x106) 3600 (520,000) Polycarbonate 2.4 (3.5×105) 65 (9425) Also, the stress on the polycarbonate matrix when the aramid fibers fail is 45 MPa (6500 psi). For this composite, compute: (a) the longitudinal tensile strength i MPa
