Consider a metal single crystal oriented such that the normal to the slip plane and the slip direction are at angles of 32.5° and 50°, respectively, with the tensile axis. If the critical resolved shear stress is 15 MPa, will an applied stress of 30 MPa cause the single crystal to yield? What is the value of the resolved shear stress?
