Test for Determination of Shear Strength

The term shear strength is often associated with the soil. Shear strength is defined as the resistance to the deformation of soil particles due to the continuous action of shear stress. In short, shear strength is the maximum shear stress that a soil can sustain.

Question

What will be the shearing resistance of a sample of clay in an unconfined compression test, falls under a load of 150 N? Take change of cross-section Af=2181.7 mm².
