GATE CE 2022 Set 2 | Complex Stress Question 7 | Strength of Materials Or Solid Mechanics

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?

$${\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{{\tau _{zx}}} \over {{\sigma _1} + {\sigma _3}}}} \right)$$

$${\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{{\tau _{zx}}} \over {{\sigma _3} - {\sigma _x}}}} \right)$$

$${\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{{\tau _{zx}}} \over {{\sigma _1} - {\sigma _x}}}} \right)$$

$${\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{{\tau _{zx}}} \over {{\sigma _1} + {\sigma _x}}}} \right)$$
