Question

define angle of friction and angle of reponse and hence show that they are numerically equal​

Answer 1

Answer:

The angle of repose, or critical angle of repose,[1] of a granular material is the steepest angle of descent or dip relative to the horizontal plane to which a material can be piled without slumping. At this angle, the material on the slope face is on the verge of sliding. The angle of repose can range from 0° to 90°. The morphology of the material affects the angle of repose; smooth, rounded sand grains cannot be piled as steeply as can rough, interlocking sands. The angle of repose can also be affected by additions of solvents. If a small amount of water is able to bridge the gaps between particles, electrostatic attraction of the water to mineral surfaces will increase the angle of repose, and related quantities such as the soil strength.

Answer 2

The main difference between angle of friction and angle of repose is that the angle of friction is defined as the angle between the normal reaction force and the resultant force of normal reaction force and friction when an object just begins to move, whereas the angle of repose is defined as the minimum angle of an ...
