The angle whose tangent is the coefficient of friction. In measuring the coefficient of friction a body is placed on a plane and the latter tilted until the body will just slide down when gently tapped. The angle of the plane to the horizontal is then the angle of friction. 4, record 1, English, - angle%20of%20friction

Angle entre la perpendiculaire à une surface et la force résultante agissant sur un corps posé sur la surface, et auquel angle ce corps commence à bouger. 3, record 1, French, - angle%20de%20frottement
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Une pièce glissant sur un support est soumise [...] à l'action de la pesanteur et à la réaction normale du support, et [...] à la force appliquée qui tend à provoquer le mouvement et à la résistance tangentielle due au frottement; le mouvement a lieu si la force appliquée est supérieure à cette résistance. La résultante de la réaction normale du support et de la résistance tangentielle forme avec la normale au plan de glissement un angle appelé angle de frottement; la valeur de la tangente trigonométrique de cet angle est le coefficient de frottement [...] 4, record 1, French, - angle%20de%20frottement
