What happens to the shear stress as the angle between the plane and the applied stress direction increases?

37. What happens to the shear stress as the angle between the plane and the applied stress direction increases?

1. Shear stress remains constant
2. Shear stress increases
3. Shear stress decreases
4. Shear stress becomes zero

Answer

The correct answer is: B) Shear stress increases

Explanation

The shear stress applied on the plane increases as the angle between the plane and the direction of applied stress increases as the plane's orientation changes.
