What is Angle of repose? All I know is something related to the body on an inclined plane slipping or at rest. Can someone explain?
Yes, the term has multiple meanings. But the context of mechanics was clear.dean barry said:It also used to refer to the natural angle ( above horizontal ) of the side of a cone shape of loose material poured directly from above ( ie a heap of coal )
The angle of repose is the maximum angle at which a material can be piled or stacked without slumping or collapsing under its own weight.
The angle of repose is typically measured by slowly pouring the material onto a flat surface, such as a table or a ramp, and gradually increasing the slope until the material starts to slide. The angle at which this occurs is the angle of repose.
The angle of repose can be influenced by various factors such as the particle size and shape of the material, the moisture content, and the surface roughness of the object on which the material is piled.
The angle of repose can be used to study the movement and stability of different body parts, such as joints and bones. It can also be used to analyze the behavior of different materials within the human body, such as blood flow and muscle movement.
The angle of repose is commonly used in fields such as geology, engineering, and medicine to understand the behavior of materials and structures. It can also be used to determine the flow properties of powders and granular materials, which is important in industries such as pharmaceuticals and food processing.
