@tiandoman I'm sure we can find a situation where this equation happens to be used, but I find it best to be able to derive the function. The ability to connect the physical with numbers is the value the engineer brings to the table :).
As a side note, the body doesn't need to be cut at that angle. We could just be considering the shear stress in an unaltered stock bar. I simply mentioned it cut at that angle so you could easily visualize it.
Would this shear stree= (P)(cos(theta))(sin(theta)) divided by the original area formula only apply when they are asking you for the shear stress on a body that has been cut at a specified angle? Is there any other situations where you could also use this formula?
