A circular bar of radiusr= 1 cm is placed horizontally between two vertical supports that are separated by distanceL= (8.0x10^-1) m. The bar is made of silicon nitride in manufactured form, without any intentional scratches or cracks or other stress concentrators.
Estimate the largest possible force (in N) that can be applied before the bar breaks. Assume the maximum flexural strength reported for this material.
Express your answer in the form X.X x 10^Y.
