Can someone tell me what you get from that law, getting confused by my teacher notes; they tend to contradict themselves somehow.
Is the Normal of the Slip Plane the Same as the Slip Direction?

SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies the relationship between the normal of the slip plane and the slip direction in material science. It establishes that the slip direction is indeed normal to the slip plane, confirming that the angle between the normal of the slip plane and the axis of the rod is equivalent to the angle between the slip direction and the axis of the rod. This conclusion resolves the confusion presented in the teacher's notes regarding the definitions and relationships of these concepts.
