How does angle affect friction?

As the angle of the incline is increased, the normal force is decreased, which decreases the frictional force. As the angle of the incline is increased, the force of friction will decrease due to the change in normal force.

What is a limiting friction?

The maximum friction that can be generated between two static surfaces in contact with each other. Once a force applied to the two surfaces exceeds the limiting friction, motion will occur. For two dry surfaces, the limiting friction is a product of the normal reaction force and the coefficient of limiting friction.
