At a point in a stressed body there are normal stresses of 1 N/mm² (tensile) on a vertical plane and 0.5 N/mm² (tensile) on a horizontal plane. The shearing stresses on these planes are zero. What will be the normal stress on a plane making an angle  50° with the vertical plane? [given, ]

Concept:

Normal stress on a plane inclined at angle \( \theta \) is given by:

\( \sigma_n = \sigma_v \cos^2 \theta + \sigma_h \sin^2 \theta \)

Given:

  • \( \sigma_v = 1 \, \text{N/mm}^2 \)
  • \( \sigma_h = 0.5 \, \text{N/mm}^2 \)
  • \( \cos^2(50^\circ) = 0.413 \Rightarrow \sin^2(50^\circ) = 0.587 \)

Calculation:

\( \sigma_n = 1 \times 0.413 + 0.5 \times 0.587 = 0.413 + 0.2935 = 0.7065 \, \text{N/mm}^2 \)
