    Given: Axial tensile load = 100 kN, Diameter of bar = 40 mm , θ = 42.3°

    Formula: Shear stress = (σx /2) sin 2θ

    Solution:

    - Stress acting in the direction of force = P /A

    = 100 x 103 / [(π / 4) 402]

    = 79.577 Mpa

    - Shear stress = ( 79.577/2) sin 2 (42.3)

    = 39.60 Mpa
