The fracture strength of glass may be increased by etching away a thin surface layer. It is believed that the etching may alter surface crack geometry (i.e., reduce the crack length and increase the tip radius). Compute the ratio of the etched and original crack-tip radii for a fourfold increase in fracture strength if half of the crack length is removed.
