Here the given elastic modules for fibre and matrix are 74Gpa
And 2.4Gpa
So using the formula Ec = fEf + (1-f)Em for longitudinal losing we get
Young's modulus = 31.04 Gpa for composite or 31.04*10^9 pa
And for traverse Ec = (F/Ef - (1-f)/Em)-1
We get Young's modulus = 3.91Gpa for composite or 3.91 *10^9 pa
