NOTE: in part A, the traction is just the integral of the dot product of T and n.

7 0 -2
The stress at point P = 0 5 0
-2 0 4

I want to know the traction vector on the plane at point P with the unit normal n = (2i1, -2i2, 1i3)/3

And the component of the traction vector perpendicular to the plane, the magnitude of the traction and the angle between the traction vector and the unit normal.
