A specimen of a 4340 steel alloy with a plane strain fracture toughness of 54.8 MPa√m (50 ksi√in) is exposed to a stress of 978.0 MPa (141800 psi). Assume that the parameter Y has a value of 1.18. 

(a) If the largest surface crack is 0.9 mm (0.03543 in.) long, determine the critical stress \( \sigma_c \).

\[ \boxed{1608.13} \text{ MPa} \]

(b) Will this specimen experience fracture?

\[ \text{Yes} \]
