Answer to Question #94515 in Mechanics | Relativity for Ankit Sharma

Question

What is repose angle of friction?

Answer 1

Angle of friction is a way to measure the friction between two surfaces. One body is placed on another body (surface) and one of the bodies (usually the flat surface) is made to incline with respect to ground letting gravity work over the first body (placed over the flat surface i.e., over the second body) then the maximum angle of inclination at which the first body may remain stable is measured , that angle is called angle of friction and the tangent of that angle is called called coefficient of friction !
