At a point subjected to plane stress on the surface of a ladder rung, the stresses are σx = –140 psi, σy = 0 psi, and τxy = –55 psi. Determine the angle θs corresponding to the orientation of the maximum in-plane shear stress at the point.

A silicone rubber [E = 2.60 MPa, G = 0.87 MPa] wristband has an initial length of 94 mm and a width of 11 mm. If the wearer imparts a normal stress of 470 kPa in the length direction while putting it on, what is the corresponding change in width?
