Question

A plane passing through a point Q inside a body is shown. The unit normal of the plane is 𝑛̂ = 0.6⁡𝑖̂ + 0.8⁡𝑗̂ , as shown in the figure. The traction (stress) vector on the plane at point Q is given by 𝑡 = (50⁡𝑖̂ + 20⁡𝑗̂) MPa. Given that at point Q, 𝜎𝑥𝑥= 𝜎𝑦𝑦 , the shear stress component 𝜏𝑥𝑦 (in MPa, rounded off to two decimal places) is ___________ .
