Question: Figure 2 shows a side view and an end view of a cantilevered rectangular beam with dimensions of 0 . 1 m long, 0 .

Figure 2 shows a side view and an end view of a cantilevered rectangular beam with dimensions of 0.1 m long, 0.12 m high and 0.05 m wide. A 6 kN point load is applied to the end of the beam as illustrated.
(a)Calculate the normal and shear stresses in the X and Y directions at point A.
(b)Calculate the principal stresses at point A.
(c) Calculate the orientation of the principal planes at point A (with respect to the X axis).
(d)Determine which principal stresses act on which principal planes.
(e)Sketch the element at point A, clearly showing the orientation of the principal planes and the magnitude and direction of the principal stresses.
(f) Calculate the maximum and minimum shear stresses at point A.
(g) What are the values of the normal stresses in the planes containing the maximum and minimum shear stresses at point A?
