A structural member under loading has a uniform state of plane stress which in usual notations is given by σ_x = 3P, σ_y = -2P and τ_xy = √2 P, where P > 0. The yield strength of the material is 350 MPa. If the member is designed using the maximum distortion energy theory, then the value of P at which yielding starts (according to the maximum distortion energy theory) is

The state of stress at a point is $${\sigma _x} = {\sigma _y} = {\sigma _z} = {\tau _{xz}} = {\tau _{zx}} = {\tau _{yz}} = {\tau _{zy}} = 0$$ and $${\tau _{xy}} = {\tau _{yx}} = 50$$MPa. The maximum normal stress (in MPa) at the point is _________.

A shaft with a circular cross-section is subjected to pure twisting moment. The ratio of the maximum shear stress to the largest principal stress is
