Question

Granular Angle of Repose Different types of
granular substances naturally settle at different angles
when stored in cone-shaped piles. This angle θ is
called the angle of repose (see figure). When rock salt
is stored in a cone-shaped pile 5.5 meters high, the
diameter of the pile’s base is about 17 meters.
