Static Friction Coefficient Using Critical Sliding Angle

Static friction is a force that opposes the relative lateral motion of two solid non-moving surfaces in contact.

The static friction coefficient equals the tangent of the critical sliding angle.

Formula

QuantityVariable[Subscript["μ", "s"], "StaticFrictionCoefficient"] == Tan[QuantityVariable[Subscript["θ", "crit"], "Angle"]]

symbol description physical quantity
μs static friction coefficient "StaticFrictionCoefficient"
θcrit critical sliding angle "Angle"
