For future reference, the coefficient of friction can be measured by putting the sample on a piece of cast iron or steel and raising one end until the sample slips. The coefficient of friction is the tangent of the angle when the sample slips. The amount of weight on the sample does not change the physics or math but more weight may change the coefficient of friction.

Oh my head hurts. Samples, angles, coefficients, weights, slipping, physics, cast iron, steel, tangents.
