In my breaker box, I have two 40A breakers side by side. One is for the
A/C, one is for the electric dryer.
Seemingly simultaneously, both of them experienced a loss of power (around
11V) on one leg. Thus, neither the dryer nor a/c work.
Can anyone imagine how this could happen, seemingly simultaneously?

What do you mean "on one leg"? I'm assuming that the power to both the A/C
and dryer is 220V.

On a 240V circuit, each leg is 120V (or more).

I assume you have two 40A double pole breakers side by side, is this
correct? 11V L1 to L2? 11V L1 or L2 to N? Please provide some more
details.

Yes, there are two 40A double pole breakers side by side.
On both, at the breaker, it's 240V on both.
At the other end of the line, it's around 80V (combined) on both. One leg
has 127V, the other measures between 11V and 18V.
