What is angle of friction?

Consider the following statements A) Angle of repose is equal to angle of friction B) Angle of friction is independent of coefficient of friction

Assertion : Angle of repose is equal to angle of limiting friction. Reason : When the body is just at the point of motion, the force of friction in this stage is called as limiting friction.

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.

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 .
