Transcribed Image Text:### Understanding Principal Stresses
#### Problem Statement:
Consider the element in with \( \tau_{xy} = 30 \, \text{MPa} \).
#### Diagram Explanation:
The diagram shows a two-dimensional stress element with the following details:
- A central square representing the material element.
- Vertical arrows labeled "80 MPa" indicating compressive normal stress acting on the top and bottom surfaces.
- Horizontal arrows labeled "τ_{xy}" indicating shear stress of 30 MPa acting on the sides of the element.
#### Part A: Determining Principal Stresses
Your task is to determine the principal stresses.
- Enter your answers in megapascals to three significant figures, separated by a comma.
#### Input:
- A field is provided to enter the two principal stresses \( \sigma_1 \) and \( \sigma_2 \).
#### Action:
- Click "Submit" to check your answers or "Request Answer" for assistance.
