Coefficient of Friction at an Angle Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Coefficient of Friction at an Angle.
Ca = C * SIN(a)
- Where Ca is the Coefficient of Friction at an Angle
- C is the standard coefficient of friction
- a is the angle of the friction
How to Calculate Coefficient of Friction at n Angle?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Coefficient of Friction at n Angle.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the standard coefficient of friction. In this example, the standard coefficient of friction is given as 100.
- Next, determine the angle of the friction. For this problem, the angle of the friction is given as 40.
- Finally, calculate the Coefficient of Friction at n Angle using the equation above:
Ca = C * SIN(a)
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation:
Ca = 100 * sin(40deg) = 64.278
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as above, first define the variables required by the formula. In this case, these values are:
standard coefficient of friction = 200
angle of the friction = 35
Entering these values yields:
Ca = 200 * SIN(35deg) = 114.71
