A very large, steel plate of yield stress 200 MPa and Poisson's ratio 0.3 has a crack at the centre of length 22 mm, orientated along the x-axis. If the plate is subjected to far field tensile loading of magnitude 180 MPa and is assumed to be in a state of plane stress, determine the extent of the plastic region at the crack tip, along the x-axis. You may assume Poisson's ratio is (1/3). Express your answer as an integer value of mm.
