Hi, I need help with the first part of the problem below because I'm very confused about how P1 and P2 should be calculated. If you look at my notes to solve the problem there is already a formula in place as I always thought the Patm should also be multiplied by the Area in the numerator, but it's not if I look at this specific tutorial solution given by my course but it's not explained why. I have done a while ago a very similar problem with using that formula in my notes and it gave me the right results, but it's not working for this one. Could you please help me understand why as I have a test coming soon?

- Learning Goal: To calculate the principal stresses and maximum in-plane shear stress for a plane state of stress. The normal and shear stresses for a state of stress depend on the orientation of the axes. For a general plane state of stress, there is one orientation where the two normal stresses are a maximum and minimum and the shear stresses on the faces of the element are zero. The two normal stresses 01 and 2 are known as principal stresses. The directions of the faces on which the principal stresses act are known as the principal planes. The principal stresses can be calculated using the following formula: σ1,2 = Tmax = O₂ + Oy 2 ± Figure The maximum in-plane shear stress occurs on a plane that is 45° away from the principal planes. The average normal stress on this plane is O₂ + Oy generally not zero, but is avg = maximum shear stress is given by the following equation: .
