A large rectangular component is undergoing fully-reversed cyclic loading, and the component is known to grow the dominant fatigue crack from the outer surface. If the stress amplitude (σA) is 100 MPa and the critical stress intensity factor KIC of the material is 50 MPa⋅m1/2, then the crack length at which the component will fail catastrophically is _______ mm. (Round off to one decimal place)
Given: The geometric factor α for this loading condition is 1.12.

Correct : 12.5
