A stress distribution is given by

where the p and c’s are constants. (a) Verify that this field represents a solution for a thin plate of thickness t (Fig. P3.1); (b) obtain the corresponding stress function; (c) find the resultant normal and shearing boundary forces (P_y and V_x) along edges y=0 and y=b of the plate.
