(a) Determine the shear and effective normal stresses that act on a plane oriented 30 degrees clockwise from horizontal. Sketch the plane and draw the stresses acting on it; make sure you have the correct sign convention. (b) Determine the shear and effective normal stresses that act on a plane oriented 30 degrees counterclockwise from horizontal. Sketch the plane and draw the stresses acting on it; make sure you have the correct sign convention. (c) Determine the maximum shear stress and the orientation of the planes on which it acts.
