b.inclination
c. repose
d. overturning


of what topic this question belongs ?

Answer 1

The angle which an inclined plane makes with the horizontal when a body placed on it is about to slide down is known as angle of repose...

Answer 2

Answer:

c) The angle which an inclined plane makes with the horizontal when a body placed on it is about to slide down is known as repose.

Explanation:

• The angle of repose is defined as the angle formed by an inclined plane with the horizontal when a body is about to slide down it.
• The inverse tangent of the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is equal to the angle of repose.
