Given the principal stresses of 1 = 100 MPa (vertical) and 3 = 20 MPa

Question:

Given the principal stresses of σ= 100 MPa (vertical) and σ3 = 20 MPa (horizontal), determine the normal and shear stresses on a fault plane that strikes parallel to σ2 and dips 32° (Plane 1 in Fig. G-33a, Appendix G).
