Question 1.
Define normal stress.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the forces acting directly onto a surface.
Question 2.
What does shear stress represent?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how a sliding force acts across a material.
3Question 3.
What does the term normal stress refer to?
- Force per unit area acting perpendicular
- Force per unit area acting parallel
Show hintHide hint
Remember how forces distribute along different surfaces.
4Question 4.
True or False: Mohr's Circle is useful for visualizing stress transformations.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about different orientations builders consider on a construction site.
Question 5.
A material experiences normal stress σ1 = 120 MPa and σ2 = 60 MPa. Calculate the maximum shear stress using Mohr’s Circle.

Visualizing might help; plot this on Mohr's Circle.
Question 6.
Given a rectangular element under loading with σ = 80 Pa, τ = 40 Pa, draw the Mohr's Circle and find σ and τ for an angle of 30°.
