If shear stresses on adjacent faces were different, the material element would start rotating on its own. Nature prevents this by maintaining rotational equilibrium, which is why complementary shear stresses must be equal.
In this short, we'll visualize a tiny material element and see how moment balance leads to one of the most important concepts in Strength of Materials and Continuum Mechanics.
