Question

Looking for assistance with Mohr Circle. I'm not asking for the whole problem to be worked, but can someone walk me through test1 (data for it is at the bottom of the screen) for total stress mohr circle

## Mohr Circle Analysis and Test Data Overview

### Mohr Circles Graph

**Graph Description:**
- The graph is titled "Mohr Circles."
- Axes:
  - **X-axis:** Normal Stress (PSI)
  - **Y-axis:** Shear Stress (PSI)
- The graph includes a dashed line labeled "Mohr-Coulomb Envelope," indicating the linear failure envelope used in shear strength analysis.

### Test Data Table

**TEST DATA:**
- Three tests are conducted with given parameters:

  |          | Total Confining Stress (σ3) PSI | Shear Stress (σs) PSI | Excess Shear (σe) PSI |
  |----------|----------------------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------|
  | **Test 1** | 17.3                             | 15.2                  | 5.0                   |
  | **Test 2** | 19.6                             | 23.2                  | 9.4                   |
  | **Test 3** | 28.7                             | 33.2                  | 19.2                  |

### Mohr Circle Construction Parameters

**Parameters Table:**
- These parameters are used to construct Mohr circles based on angle (θ) variations.
  
  | Theta (deg) | cos(2θ) | sin(2θ) |
  |-------------|---------|---------|
  | 0           | 1.000   | 0.000   |
  | 10          | 0.985   | 0.174   |
  | 20          | 0.940   | 0.342   |
  | ...         | ...     | ...     |
  | 180         | -1.000  | 0.000   |

### Mohr Circle Result Tables

**TOTAL STRESS MOHR CIRCLES** and **EFFECTIVE STRESS MOHR CIRCLES:**
- There are six columns; three for each test result. Placeholder information is present for `σn`, `σs`, and `τ` (normal stress, shear stress, and centroid radius, respectively). The specific values are yet to be filled.

### Educational Notes
- **Mohr's Circle** is a graphical method to represent the state of stress at a point. It’s particularly useful for visualizing relationships among normal and shear stresses, and ultimately determining failure conditions based
