Question: Problem # 1 ( 6 0 Points ) The state of stress at a point P in a dry soil mass is described

Problem # 1(60 Points)
The state of stress at a point " P " in a dry soil mass is described by a vertical stress (acting on a horizontal plane through " P ") of 25 psi and a horizontal stress (acting on a vertical plane through "P") of 10 psi. It is desired to perform the following tasks:
1.) Plot the Mohr circle describing the state of stress at point "P";
2.) Identify the "Pole" on the Mohr circle at "P";
3.) Find the maximum shear stress acting on a plane passing through " P ";
4.) Show the orientation of the plane with the maximum shear stress;
5.) Indicate the normal stress acting on the plane with maximum shear stress; and
6.) Indicate the normal and shear stresses acting on a plane forming an angle of 22 degrees (clockwise) from the vertical plane at "P".
