$A$ bar of cross-sectional area $A$ is subjected to two equal and opposite tensile forces at its ends as shown in the figure. Consider a plane $BB'$ making an angle $\theta$ with the length. The ratio of tensile stress to the shearing stress on the plane $BB'$ is

  • A
    $tan\, \theta$
  • B
    $sec\, \theta$
  • C
    $cot\, \theta$
  • D
    $cos\, \theta$
