Christian Otto Mohr (October 8, 1835 – October 2, 1918) was a German civil engineer. In 1882, he famously developed the graphical method for analysing stress known as Mohr's circle and used it to propose an early theory of strength based on shear stress.

Using both the Mohr circle and the fundamental stress equations, determine the normal and shear tractions on the two planes. For Mohr circle, use 1 cm = 10 MPa)
