Chapter 17, Problem 17.29CP

For the following computer problems, any appropriate software may be used. Input prompts should fully explain what is required of the user (the program should be user-friendly). The resulting output should be well labeled and self-explanatory.

17.29 Write a computer program that will solve for the normal stress and shear stress on any inclined plane in a uniaxially loaded member, such as the metal block of Example 17.9. User input is to be the cross-sectional area of the member, the axial load, and the inclination $\theta$ of a normal to the plane measured counterclockwise from the X-X axis. The input prompts should enable the user to understand the required input fully.
