Shear Stress Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Shear Stress?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

𝜏 = \frac{F t}{A cs}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

𝜏 = \frac{0.025N}{1333.4mm²}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

𝜏 = \frac{0.025N}{0.0013m²}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

𝜏 = \frac{0.025}{0.0013}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

𝜏 = 18.7490625468727Pa

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

𝜏 = 18.7491Pa

How to Evaluate Shear Stress?

Shear Stress evaluator uses Shearing Stress = Tangential Force/Cross Sectional Area to evaluate the Shearing Stress, The Shear stress formula is defined as the measure of the tangential force acting per unit area. It is the component of stress coplanar with a material cross section. Shearing Stress is denoted by 𝜏 symbol.

How to evaluate Shear Stress using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Shear Stress, enter Tangential Force (F_t) & Cross Sectional Area (A_cs) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Shear Stress

What is the formula to find Shear Stress?

The formula of Shear Stress is expressed as Shearing Stress = Tangential Force/Cross Sectional Area. Here is an example- 18.74906 = 0.025/0.0013334.

How to calculate Shear Stress?

With Tangential Force (F_t) & Cross Sectional Area (A_cs) we can find Shear Stress using the formula - Shearing Stress = Tangential Force/Cross Sectional Area.

What are the other ways to Calculate Shearing Stress?

Here are the different ways to Calculate Shearing Stress-

Shearing Stress=(Shearing Force*First Moment of Area)/(Moment of Inertia*Thickness of Material)
Shearing Stress=(Torque*Radius of Shaft)/Polar Moment of Inertia

Can the Shear Stress be negative?

No, the Shear Stress, measured in Stress cannot be negative.

Which unit is used to measure Shear Stress?

Shear Stress is usually measured using the Pascal[Pa] for Stress. Newton per Square Meter[Pa], Newton per Square Millimeter[Pa], Kilonewton per Square Meter[Pa] are the few other units in which Shear Stress can be measured.
