Mohr’s circle for the state of plane stress at a point is shown in the figure. Unit of stress is MPa and the circle is drawn not to scale. Which one of the following options (stress values in MPa) is true? (normal stress) (shear stress) A B C O O – Origin of – axis C – Center of Mohr’s circle 20 30 40 ( A, A) ( , ) ( , 0) ( , 0)
