Angle of friction and angle of repose are?

Correct answer: A. equal to each other

  • A. equal to each other
  • B. not equal to each other
  • C. proportional to each other
  • D. None of these

Explanation

At the limiting condition of motion, the angle of friction and the angle of repose are equal because both have tangent equal to the coefficient of friction. The angle of repose is the slope angle at which a body just begins to slide.
