Does coefficient of static friction change with angle

[QUOTE="Chestermiller, post: 5462694, member: 345636"] This is how you go about [B]measuring[/B] the coefficient of friction. The coefficient of friction itself does not depend on the angle. You raise the angle until block starts to slip. At that point, the coefficient of static friction is determined to be the tangent of that angle, which is equal to the component of the block's weight parallel to the ramp divided by the component of block's weight perpendicular to the surface. You are not measuring the coefficient of static friction until the block just starts to slip. [/QUOTE]
