Question

Explain what is shearing stress?

Answer 1

Answer:

• Shearing stress: a stress in an elastic solid or a fluid that is caused by a shear which tends to make different sections or layers of the solid or fluid move in different directions.

• The formula for shear stress is

T = F / A, where 'F' is the applied force on the member, and 'A' is the cross-sectional area of the member.

Answer 2

Answer

• Shear stress is the stress created on an object due to too a force parallel to the plane
• Shear stress is given by the ratio of the Force applied and the Area of Cross section
• Shear stress = F/A
• Note that the area we consider is the area that is parallel to the cross sectional area.
• The shear stress can be found by calculating the value of tanθ of the deformation
