Such a distribution about a point cannot exist if the pointis within the body. When the origin is a point on the boundary, the state ofstress expressed by (31) is that due to a single force at the point.

Thus the resultant applied force acts along the initial line andits amount is ?7rA(X +fj,)/(X + 2fi); the sense is that of the continuation ofthe initial line outwards from the body when A is positive. This result gives us the solution of the problem of a plate with a straightboundary, to which force is applied at one point in a given direction. Takingthat direction as initial line, and F as the amount of the force, the stress-system is expressed by the equations ;^=__i^£^!_ ,^ = 0, ^=0, (32) and these qiiantities are of course averages taken through the thickness ofthe plate. 150.
