Angle Of Friction

The angle between the resultant contact force and the normal force exerted by a body on the other is called the angle of friction. Show that it lamda be the angle of friction and mu the coefficient of static friction. lamdaletan^-1mu .

Assertion: A body slides down an inclined plane if the angle of friction is more than the angle of the inclined plane with the horizontal. Reason : When the angle of inclination is equal to the angle of friction, the component of weight parallel to the plane is just sufficient to overcome the frictional force.

If force F is gradually increased from zero to 50 N , tehn (a) find the minimum contact force, (b) find the maximum value of angle of friction when F = 30 N , (d) find the angle of friction when the block is moving with constant velocity and ( e) sketch a graph between friction and applied force.

The angle friction theta is given by
