Question
The angle between the resultant contact force and the normal force exerted by a body on the other is called the angle of friction. Show that, if $\lambda$ be the angle of friction and la the coefficient of static friction, $\lambda\leq\tan^{-1}\mu.$

Answer



$f →$ applied force
$F_i →$ contact force
$F → $ frictional force
$R → $ normal reaction
$\mu=\tan\lambda=\frac{\text{F}}{\text{R}}$
When $\text{F}=\mu\text{R, F}$ is the limiting friction (max friction). When applied force increase, force of friction increase upto limiting friction $(\mu\text{R})$
Before reaching limiting friction

$\text{F}<\mu\text{R}$
$\therefore\tan\lambda=\frac{\text{F}}{\text{R}}\leq\frac{\mu\text{R}}{\text{R}}\Rightarrow\tan\lambda\leq\mu\Rightarrow\lambda\leq\tan^{-1}\mu$
