Answer:

8.24μm

Explanation:

The theory of brittle fracture was used to solve this problem.

And if you follow through with the attachment made a the subject of the formula

Such that,

a = 2x(69x10⁹)x0.3/pi(40x10⁶)²

= 4.14x10¹⁰/5.024x10¹⁵

= 8.24x10^-06

= 8.24μm

This is the the maximum length of the surface flaw
