Question

Consider the following statements:
Mohr's Circle is used to determine the stress on an oblique section of a body subjected to
1. direct tensile stress on one plane accompanied by a shear stress.
2. direct tensile stresses in two mutually perpendicular directions accompanied by a simple shear stress.
3. direct tensile stress in two mutually perpendicular directions.
4. A simple shear stress
Select the correct answe using the codes given below:

• A. 1 and 4
• B. 2 and 3
• C. 1, 2, 3 and 4
• D. 1, 2 and 3

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1, 2, 3 and 4

If the state of stress on two planes and angle between those planes is known, then with the help of Mohr's circle we can determine stresses on oblique section.
