    1. Limiting friction force (also known as maximum static friction force) is the maximum force that can act between two surfaces in contact without causing the surfaces to move relative to each other. This force is determined by the normal force acting on the surfaces and the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the surfaces.
    2. Angle of repose is the angle at which a pile of granular material (such as sand or gravel) forms a stable slope. This angle is determined by the forces acting on the particles in the pile, including the weight of the particles, the forces of friction between the particles, and any other external forces acting on the pile. The angle of repose is typically measured with respect to the horizontal, and is equal to the angle at which the pile of material will remain stable without collapsing.
