What Tensile Failure Strength Must Material Possess to Avoid Failure?

As you know I am always on the search for useful web sites on Mechanical Engineering, understanding that a Mechanical Engineering is
needed for the information.
I discovered a really informative post that talks about Mechanical Engineering from a different point of view. Make sure you go over this piece of content and let me know your opinion. Today’s piece of content is titled title and you can find the full article published below for convenience:
A plate that is 5cm wide and 1 cm thick has a hole that is .25cm in diameter, is subjected to a tensile force of 60N. What is tensile failure strength must material possess to avoid failure? (Plate is made of a brittle material, so Maximum Shear Stress Theory is used, I believe)
