1. Consider the section cut shown below. The origin is centered on the cut. The cut extends from -b/2 to b/2 in the x-direction and similarly from −h/2 to h/2 in the y-direction. There are no body forces, b. The stress distribution on the cut is given by: σ=⎣⎡55xy−5zx5xy−2.5y20−5xz02.5z2⎦⎤MPa. a) Does this represent an equilibrium force distribution? b) What is the total force acting on the cut? c) What is the total moment acting on the cut? Note that: n^=21(^+^), where ^ and ^ are unit vectors in the x - and y-directions respectively. The dimensions are h=5cm and the width b=10cm. Note because of the angle of the cut the area is larger than bh by 2.
