Notes:
    The format is Microsoft Windows Media Player Version 9.0
    These files are large, and should probably only be used with a high-speed internet connection.
    In Part 1:  I compute (50 - 100)/2 and say +25.  I correct this mistake later in the video.
    If you cannot watch the video, the wording of the problem is the same as problem 8.5-13 plus 8.6-1
    in the textbook.

Mohr's Circle Example:
    Part 1:  The Basics
    Part 2:  The Principal Stress State
    Part 3:  The Maximum In-plane Shearing Stress State
    Part 4:  The Absolute Maximum Shearing Stress
