A single strain gage, placed in the vertical plane on the outer surface and at an angle 60° to the axis of the pipe, gives a reading at point A of ε_A= -250(10^-6). Determine the principal strains in the pipe at this point. The pipe has an outer diameter of 1 in. and an inner diameter of 0.6 in. and is made of C86100 bronze.
