I'm getting approximations within 5% of the actual values. Does that sound about right?

SUMMARY
Mohr's Circle provides mathematically accurate results for stress analysis, but real-life applications often yield approximations within 5% of actual values. The accuracy of these approximations varies significantly based on the magnitude of the stress being analyzed; for example, a 5% error on 10Pa results in a minor deviation, while the same percentage on 10MPa leads to a substantial difference of 500,000 Pa. The discussion emphasizes that while Mohr's Circle is precise in theory, practical measurements and conditions can affect the accuracy of results.
