Summary:
In this paper the exact formula for the critical time of generating discontinuity (shock wave) in a solution of a $2\times2$ quasilinear hyperbolic system is derived. The applicability of the formula in the engineering praxis is shown on one-dimensional equations of isentropic non-viscous compressible fluid flow.
