Consider a certain critical point in a stress element. On a vertical plane, the compressive stress is 115 MPa and the shear stress is (+)31.5 MPa. There is no normal stress on the horizontal plane. Find the stresses acting on the principal planes and the orientation of principal planes with the horizontal plane. You may need to draw a Mohr's circle. Note: Assume a 'small' amount of tension stress is possible (not necessarily true, but ok for this problem).
