The magnitude of the only shear stresses acting at a point in plane stress situation is $$7.5\,N/n{m^2}.$$ The magnitudes of the principle stresses will be:

$$ + \,7.5\,N/n{m^2}$$ and $$ - 7.5\,N/n{m^2}$$

$$ + \,15.0\,N/n{m^2}$$ and $$ - 7.5\,N/n{m^2}$$

$$ + \,7.5\,N/n{m^2}$$ and $$ - 15.0\,N/n{m^2}$$

$$ + \,7.5\,N/n{m^2}$$ and $$ - 7.5\,N/n{m^2}$$

$$ + \,10.0\,N/n{m^2}$$ and $$ - 7.5\,N/n{m^2}$$
