Question Description
I’m studying for my Geology class and need an explanation.
Draw an accurate diagram where maximum compressive stress is vertical and a fracture dips 60 degrees. show on the diagram how normal and shear forces a long that place are oriented. Derive the equations for calcuhe forces if the maximum force was known.
