I am getting confused with the maths in the max distortion strain energy part of the question. Plus there is a misprint as the formula for distortion should be a^2 +b^2-2ab=(yield stress)^2, here they have missed the 2 in 2ab. Or maybe I am wrong
Can someone please solve it correctly showing the working(maths). I just need a step by step working as I am making some error solving it myself. And the one solved here is missing steps. *F.S=1 that's why not mentioned.
Thanks
