How to Calculate and Solve for Angle of Friction | Merchant Force Circle
Last Updated on March 7, 2021
The image above represents the angle of friction.
To compute for the angle of friction, one essential parameter is needed and this parameter is co-efficient of friction (μ).
The formula for calculating angle of friction:
β = tan-1(μ)
Where:
β = Angle of Friction
μ = Co-efficient of Friction
Let’s solve an example;
Find the angle of friction when the co-efficient of friction is 21.
This implies that;
μ = Co-efficient of Friction = 21
β = tan-1(μ)
β = tan-1(21)
β = 87.27
Therefore, the angle of friction is 87.27°.
