The three-dimensional state of stress at a point is given by
$$\sigma = \begin{pmatrix}
10 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 40 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0
\end{pmatrix} \text{ MPa.}$$
The maximum shear stress at the point is
Stresses acting on an infinitesimal soil element are shown in the figure (with $$\sigma$$z > $$\sigma$$x). The major and minor principal stresses are $$\sigma$$1 and $$\sigma$$3, respectively. Considering the compressive stresses as positive, which one of the following expressions correctly represents the angle between the major principal stress plane and the horizontal plane?


$$1.$$ On a principal plane, only normal stress acts
$$2.$$ On a principal plane, both normal and shear stresses act
$$3.$$ On a principal plane, only shear stress acts
$$4.$$ Isotropic state of stress is independent of frame of reference.
Which of the above statements is/are correct ?
