Solution
Have you ever tried to bend and even break a wooden stick but failed because it was too thick? Then you probably leaned it against a wall and stepped on it really hard and broke it. What made it break is shear stress.
Shear stress is the amount of force per unit area perpendicular to the axle of the member.
