Static friction vs. Normal force on an incline

[Alex75]

So for a coifficent of fiction being .6 between the wood chips and the steel slide I would have to angle it at a slope greater than 30.96 (i. E. 31°) in order for the force of gravity acting upon them would be great enough to overcome the static friction generated by the chips

Correct. And note that this angle is independent of the mass of the chips or any substance.

Thank you so much I had gotten that angle on my own but it was mear accident I'm glad I was able to confirm with someone who knows something. Thank you again gleem
