hree$-$point transverse bending test is conducted on a cylindrical specimen of aluminum oxide having a reported

aral strength of $300$MPa$(43,500).$ If the specimen radius is $.)$ and the support point separation

Istance is $15\mathrm{.}0mm(0\mathrm{.}61in.),$ would you expect the specimen to fracture when a load of $7500N(1690$ lbf$)$ is applied?

Justify your answer $(15).$
