A triangular plate of narrow rectangular cross-section and uniform thickness is loaded uniformly along its top edge as shown in the following figure. Verify that the Airy stress function:

p cot a -2 (1-a cota) [-  tan a + xy + (x + y) (a  tan-)] solves this plane problem. For the particular case

p cot a -2 (1-a cota) [- tan a + xy + (x + y) (a tan-)] solves this plane problem. For the particular case of a = 30, explicitly calculate the normal and shear stress distribution over a typical cross-section AB and make comparison plots (MATLAB recommended) of your results with those from elementary strength of materials.
