What is the difference between angle of friction and angle of repose?
Angel of repose is different from the angel of friction; however in a particular case it may be the same. Basically angle of repose is an engineering property of granular materials. It is the maximum angle of a stable slope determined by friction, cohesion and the shapes of the particles. When bulk granular materials are poured onto a horizontal surface, a conical pile will form. The internal angle between the surface of the pile and the horizontal surface is known as the angle of repose and is related to the density, surface area and shapes of the particles, and the coefficient of friction of the material. Material with a low angle of repose forms flatter piles than material with a high angle of repose. In other words, the angle of repose is the angle a pile forms with the ground. While angel of friction is the angle between the noemal force and athe resultant between tha normal force and friction force.
What does the slope of a graph potential difference vs current represent?
resistance of a material
Is acceleration directly proportional to the angle of inclination?
Yes it is, Force down a slope is F= mgsinA a=gsinA Constant is therefore a and sin is function applied to the angle
How can an adjustable inclined plane be used to measure the coefficient of static friction and coefficient of static friction with a mass of 5.0?
Incline the plane until breakaway is achieved and note the angle. > A) Sin angle * 5 = force down (and parallel to) the slope in kgf. > B) Cos angle * 5 = force (weight) of block normal to slope surface. > Static friction coefficient = A / B
When a mass of material moves downslope along a curved surface the process is called?
Material moving down a slope, depending upon the kind of material involved, could be described as falling, rolling, sliding, or slumping.
The angle of what is the steepest slope at which loose material will not slide downslope?
That depends on the friction between the loose material and the slope. In most high friction situations, objects will tumble rather then slide down a slope.But to give you some numbers: most playground slides are 45` or less, an experienced rock climber can walk up a 60`slope with climbing shoes and a rough surface.
What is the definition of a land slide?
Loose soil and rubble moving down a slope.
What is loose material in layers slipping down a slope?
ice or rocks
How high is a landslide slope?
Landslide slopes vary depending on the type of material, angle of repose (angle material or debris natural forms when stacked or piled), and the conditions in which the landslide may occur.
What is the natural slope of dirt?
Most loose, not compacted, sands and silts have an angle of repose, measured from the horizontal, of 35 degrees.
Do loose undisturbed particles assume a stable slope called the angle of repose?
Yes, they do. And this angle of repose will be different for different materials, the particle sizes and the moisture content.
How to measure the angle of incline of a slope?
The slope is the rise/run.And then angle of incline = arctan(slope).
How do you find the angle of a slope?
its the tangent of the angle the slope makes with the x-axis
About how steep is the angle of the slope for Extreme Skiers?
About how steep is the angle of the slope for "Extreme Skiers"?
What is basic friction angle?
Friction angle or also known as angle of repose of soil is the subtended angle formed between the side slope with the vertical of a loose heap of the soil. This can also be determined by the triaxial shear test on soil conducted in laboratory.
How many degrees in a slope would most likely produce a mass movement?
That depends on what the "mass" is made of. The angle of repose depends on the material the slope is made from and the presence (amount) of water in the material. Fs = Shear Strength/Shear Stress
What is the name for the rapid movement of rock material down a slope?
There are different names for that. You could call it a rock slide, a land slide, a mud slide, or even an avalanche, as in "an avalanche of rock landed on my car."
