Answer:

T=F/A

Step-by-step explanation:

T= shear stress

F=applied force

A=cross sectional area

shear stress, force tending to cause deformation of material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress, the resultant shear is of a great importance in nature, being intimately related to the downslope movement of earth materials and earthquakes.
