Is there any any approved, or accepted calcs, for shaking of the sun/Quakes on the sun? Id like to know the formula if possible please...

Quakes on the sun as in the sun is the epicenter or whatever its called lol.
 
The current standard is assuming the Star has similar plate tectonics as the Earth, which as you may guess is not a good assumption.

There must be a way. on the wikipedia for sunquake it says "On July 9, 1996, a sunquake was produced by an X2.6 class solar flare and its corresponding coronal mass ejection. According to researchers who reported the event in Nature, this sunquake was comparable to an earthquake of a magnitude 11.3 on the Richter scale."

also the same thing here https://sci.esa.int/web/soho/-/37379-sun-quake

im not sure how they do it though
 
There is a way to do it, but its not through plate tectonics. But due to sound vibrations that travel through the Sun's outer layer. There are ways to measure it and it involves common density for the surface of stars. But the process is less understood and harder to easily calculate than Earth based quakes.
