The widespread use of ladders demonstrates that we're physically capable of

hauling ourselves straight up, at a 90-degree angle above the horizontal. On

a flat, inclined surface, the only limitation is the necessity of providing sufficient

friction between the shoes and the surface, so that your feet don't slip back as

you proceed up the slope. But given a firm grip with the surface, there's no

'steepest' angle past which we can't climb.

Do dry boulders support the steepest angle of repose?

No, dry boulders do not support the steepest angle of repose. The steepest angle of repose is supported by finer-grained dry materials such as sand or gravel, which can stack at angles close to the natural angle of repose. Dry boulders are less likely to form stable piles at steep angles due to their size and irregular shapes.

Why are legs important to humans?

Legs are important to humans because humans need to walk and legs enable them to walk. Without legs, humans would not be able to walk and therefore would be bad at being humans.


How steep is the steepest slope?

The steepest slope is often represented as a 90-degree angle, which is vertical. In practical terms, this means a slope with an infinite gradient, where the rise is maximized without any horizontal run. However, in natural terrains, the steepest slopes can vary significantly, with some mountainous regions exhibiting gradients of over 60 degrees. Such steep slopes pose challenges for stability and erosion.


What is the angle of repose of iron ore?

The angle of repose of iron ore typically ranges from 30 to 45 degrees. This angle represents the steepest angle at which unconsolidated material can remain stable without sliding or collapsing. However, the exact angle can vary depending on factors such as the particle size and shape of the iron ore.
