Solution

The term 'angle of repose' refers to the steepest angle of descent or dip relative to the horizontal plane to which a material can be piled without slumping. In other words, it is the angle of the surface which when a material is heaped upon it, the material will not slide. This term is often used in physics and engineering. In the context of your question, it is the angle indicated by the height and diameter of the cone formed by a stream of powder falling freely onto a surface.
