Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani Assignment - 6 (Solution Key)

This document contains an assignment question from a Mechanics of Solids course. The question asks to determine the state of plane stress and principal planes and stresses resulting from the superposition of two stress states using Mohr's circle. The solution shows the calculations to find the normal and shear stresses in the x-y plane are σx = -51.96 MPa, σy = 51.96 MPa, τxy = -30 MPa. It then calculates the maximum and minimum principal stresses are 145 MPa and 25 MPa, occurring on planes at angles of 15° and 105° counter-clockwise from the x-axis.
