The gravitation force between the earth and object is called weight.
It is also equal to the product of acceleration due to gravity and mass of the object.
,
where, mass of the object,
acceleration due to gravity

Angle of sliding or angle of repose : It is the angle that an inclined plane makes with the horizontal when a body placed on it just starts sliding down. Consider an inclined plane OB whose angle of inclination with the horizontal surface can be changed. Suppose a block of weight is placed on the inclined plane. The weight W will act vertically downwards through the centre of gravity of the block. Increase the angle of inclination very slowly till the block just begins to slide down the plane. This particular value of the angl inclination is called the angle of sliding or angle of repose. It is denoted by . Value of 0 depends upon the material and the nature of the two surfaces in con The weight can be resolved into two rectangular components : and . The component balances the normal reaction R the component is equal to the limiting friction . The tangent of the angle of repose is equal to the coefficient of static friction. This fact is used for finding the coefficient of static friction in the laboratory. The angle of repose is equal to the angle of friction. Sody sliding down an inclined plane :

2.5 CELLS - HOW SMALL? Cells are very small and are seen only with a microscope. - Smallest cells are the bacteria (0.3-5.0 micrometre), red blood cells (about 7 micrometre) in the human body. - Longest cells are the nerve cells. Imagine a nerve cell extending from your finger tip up to the spinal cord inside your backbone. - Largest cells are the birds' eggs (actually the central yellow sphere). Ostrich egg (before development begins in it) is the largest single cell of the living world today. The white (albumen) of the egg and the egg-shell are extra parts added on to the actual egg as it passes down the reproductive tract. 2.6 SMALLNESS OF CELLS : A GREATER EFFICIENCY - Cells generally remain small in size and this is because of two main reasons. (i) Different regions of a cell can communicate with each other rapidly for the cell to function effectively. (ii) Cells have a large surface area / volume ratio
