A concentrated vertical load of 3000 KN is applied on a horizontal ground surface. Points P and Q are at depths 1 m and 2 m below the ground, respectively, along the line of application of the load. Considering the ground to be a linearly elastic, isotropic, semi-infinite medium, the ratio of the increase in vertical stress at P to the increase in vertical stress at Q is (in integer)

Determine : 60° 3 МРа A (a) Normal stress and shear stress on an element A in the timber block (b) The maximum and minimum (absolute) shear stress in the timber block. 7 MPa
The stresses shown act at a point in a stressed body. The stress magnitudes are Sx = 85 MPa and Sy = 215 MPa, acting in the directions indicated in the figure. Using the equilibrium equation approach, determine the normal and shear stresses at this point on the inclined plane shown. Assume B = 50°. Sx
