n isotropic alloy contains 5% by volume of a precipitate of radius 10nm. Assume the primary metal is in a simple cubic arrangement. The alloy has a Young's modulus E=70GPa and a Poisson's ratio ν=0.35. If Γ=0.9J/m2 (the energy needed to cut through the precipitate lattice per unit surface area), and b=0.25nm, what is the precipitate spacing L in the alloy?
