Q1:

The tangential component of stress on an plane inclined θ° to the direction of the force, may be obtained by multiplying the normal stress by

A sin θ

B cos θ

C tan θ

D sin θ cos θ

E sin2θ

ANS:B - cos θ

When tanθ multiplied by normal stress we obtain the value of tangential stress.

So, option C should be the right answer.
