Assuming plane stresses:
The two dimensional equilibrium equations are:
Since we are ignoring the effects of gravity; there are no body forces per unit volume.
Therefore;
Apply Boundary Conditions:
If we make a cut at "A", as indicated in the problem specification, then the stress in A must be P/A.
Therefore,
