The stresses acting on element A on the web of a train rail (see figure part a) are found to be 44 MPa tension in the horizontal direction and 141 MPa compression in the vertical direction. Also, shear stresses of magnitude 45 MPa act in the directions shown (see figure part b). 141 MPa B A 44 MPa A Cross Side Section View 45 MPa (a) (b) Determine the stresses acting on an element oriented at a counterclockwise angle of 51° from the horizontal. (a) Determine the stress oz, . MPa (Round to one decimal place.) (b) Determine the stress T, MPa (Round to one decimal place.) (C) Determine the stress oy, - MPa (Round to one decimal place.) (d) Show these stresses on a sketch of an element oriented at this angle. Choose the correct sketch.
