A three-point bending test was performed on a glass


A three-point bending test was performed on a glass specimen having a square cross-section of 15 mm length on each edge. The specimen fractured at a load of 4770 N when the distance between the support points was 41 mm.

A second test is to be performed on another specimen of this same glass material, but one that has a circular cross-section. What minimum specimen diameter is required to ensure that fracture will not occur when a load of 3620 N is applied? Assume that the support point separation is maintained at 41 mm.
