Angle of ReposeAngle of Repose

Angle of Repose The angle of repose is the measure of the maximum angle of inclination wherein a body at rest remains at rest and a body is motion will travel at a constant speed. Angle of Reposerepose = tan-1(s)ExampleIf a wooden block is at rest on an inclined plane whose surface is made of wood. the coefficient of static friction between them is 0.500. At what maximum angle of inclination would the block stay at rest? QuestionWhat is the angle of inclination is greater than the angle of repose? The body moves downward at an increasing speed.
