Question: A 2 D stress element has tractions acting on surfaces normal to the x - axis and y - axis. a ) Using a force

A 2D stress element has tractions acting on surfaces normal to the x-axis and y-axis.
a) Using a force balance, calculate the normal and shear stress components of this 2D element on a surface that is 45 degrees CCW from the x -axis (shown above). Show your work. [12 pts]
b) Draw the 2D Mohr's circle for this stress element and clearly label the points on Mohr's circle that represent [5 pts]:
The 45 degree surface computed in part (a). Label "45 deg".
The surface normal to the x-axis. Label "x-axis".
The surface normal to the y-axis. Label "y-axis".
