WHAT DOES ANGLE OF FRICTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Friction

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. There are several types of friction: ▪ Dry friction resists relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces in contact. Dry friction is subdivided into static friction between non-moving surfaces, and kinetic friction between moving surfaces. ▪ Fluid friction describes the friction between layers of a viscous fluid that are moving relative to each other. ▪ Lubricated friction is a case of fluid friction where a fluid separates two solid surfaces. ▪ Skin friction is a component of drag, the force resisting the motion of a fluid across the surface of a body. ▪ Internal friction is the force resisting motion between the elements making up a solid material while it undergoes deformation. When surfaces in contact move relative to each other, the friction between the two surfaces converts kinetic energy into heat. This property can have dramatic consequences, as illustrated by the use of friction created by rubbing pieces of wood together to start a fire.

Definition of angle of friction in the English dictionary

The definition of angle of friction in the dictionary is the angle of a plane to the horizontal when a body placed on the plane will just start to slide. The tangent of the angle of friction is the coefficient of static friction.
