The state of plane strain on the element is ε_x= -300(10^-6), ε_y= 0, and γ_xy= 150(10^-6). Determine the equivalent state of strain which represents (a) the principal strains, and (b) the maximum in-plane shear strain and the associated average normal strain. Specify the orientation of the corresponding elements for these states of strain with respect to the original element.
