Mechanical Engineering

A steel wire with a cross-section area 2.5X10^-3 m2 and a lengthof 10 m is used to pull a truck on the road. The truck is 10 tonsand the friction coefficient between the tires and road is0.25N/kg. Steel has a Young’s modulus 250MPa.

Suppose this wire contain surface cracks. Determine the largestlinear size of the surface crack so that the wire will not fail dueto fracture in this application. Kc = 0.1 MPa m^0.5
