A machine element is subjected to the following bi-axial state of stress: $\sigma _x$ = $80$ $MPa$; $\sigma _y$ = 20 MPa; $\tau _{xy}$ = $40$ $MPa$. If the shear strength of the material is $100$ $MPa$, the factor of safety as per Tresca’s maximum shear stress theory is
- $1.0$
- $2.0$
- $2.5$
- $3.3$
