P(X) = (Px+Py)/2+(Px-Py)/2×cos2θ+0 = (Px/2)+(Px/2)cos2θ = Pxcos^2θ.

Pcosθ ÷ (A/cosθ) = P/A x cosθxcosθ = σCos^2θ.

In case of obligue, normal stress=(p/a)Cos^2θ.

So, here we know that shear stress=(p/a). That means normal stress=(shear stress)(cos^2 θ).

When oblique section makes theta angle with the plane (lets say plane A) where σ acts. Then sin.

When oblique section makes theta angle with the normal of plane A then it will be cos.

Please, anyone, explain when it is sin & when it is cos?
