Repose means "sleep" or "rest". Eternal means forever. Forever sleep means the person is dead.

Phrases like eternal repose were started historically when people were sensitive to thinking of a loved one as just "dead".

How does the density of a material affect its size of repose?

The density of a material can influence its size of repose by affecting how closely packed the particles are. Higher density materials tend to have smaller size of repose because their particles can fit more tightly together, leading to a steeper angle of repose. Conversely, lower density materials have a larger size of repose due to their looser particle arrangement, resulting in a shallower angle of repose.
