The formula to calculate the Coefficient of Friction (\(\mu\)) is:
\[ \mu = \frac{\tan(\theta_i)}{3} \]
Where:
The Coefficient of Friction (\(\mu\)) is the ratio defining the force that resists the motion of one body in relation to another body in contact with it.
The Angle of Inclination is formed by the inclination of one line to another; measured in degrees or radians.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ \mu = \frac{\tan(0.785398163397301)}{3} \]
Evaluating:
\[ \mu = 0.333333333333235 \]
The Coefficient of Friction is 0.333333333333.
