How to Calculate and Solve for Angle of Friction | Merchant Force Circle

The image above represents the angle of friction. One essential parameter is needed to calculate the angle of friction, which 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

That is, β = tan-1(μ)
β = tan-1(21)
β = 87.27

Therefore, the angle of friction is 87.27°.
