1. a. Two relatively large plates, one of granite and one of slate, are subjected to a tensile stress of 40 MPa. If the specific surface energies for granite and slate are 0.3 J.m² and 0.7 J.m2, respectively; while modulus of elasticity values are 69 GPa and 92 GPa, respectively for granite and slate. Determine the maximum length of a surface crack that is possible without fracture.
