The stresses at a certain point in the ground are X = 210 kPa, z

The stresses at a certain point in the ground are σ _X = 210 kPa, σ _z = 375 kPa, and
τ _zx kPa. Draw the Mohr circle for this point and determine the following:
The location of the pole;
The mean normal and shear stresses;
The magnitudes and directions of the principal stresses;
The magnitude and direction of the maximum shear stress;
The normal and shear stresses acting on a plane inclined 55’ counter-clockwise from the horizontal.
