A force perpendicular to a beam produces what type of stress?
- axial.
- shear.
- radial
Explanation from PART66Online
A force applied perpendicular (transverse) to a beam tends to slide one part of the material past the adjacent part, producing shear stress. Axial stress arises from forces along the length, so it is not the result of a perpendicular load.

i think the answer is tensile stress,becouse its given by force perpendicular to the cross sectional area/cross section area....kindly someone explain to me why SHEAR

Tensile would try to stretch it apart. <----[////////]---->.
Compressive would try to compress it up. ---->[////////]<----
Shear it is.
