A picture is taken of a man performing a pole vault, and the minimum radius of curvature of the pole is estimated by measurement to be \(4.5 \mathrm{~m}\). If the pole is \(40 \mathrm{~mm}\) in diameter and it is made of a glass-reinforced plastic for which \(E_{\mathrm{g}}=131 \mathrm{GPa}\), determine the maximum bending stress in the pole.
