Application of Angle of Repose

Children are fond of playing on sliding board.

Application of Angle of Repose

 

1. Antilons make sand traps in such a way that when an insect enters the edge of the trap, it starts to slide towards the bottom where the antilon hide itself. The angle of inclination of sand trap is made to be equal to angle of repose. It is shown in the Figure 3.30.


 

2. Children are fond of playing on sliding board (Figure 3.31). Sliding will be easier when the angle of inclination of the board is greater than the angle of repose. At the same time if inclination angle is much larger than the angle of repose, the slider will reach the bottom at greater speed and get hurt.
