Consider a particle of mass m on heap forces on it normal reaction=mg*cosθ, frictional force along incline upwards = μ N =μ*mg cosθ. Now for equilibrium mg*sinθ(due 2 gravity downward along incline)= μ*mg*cosθ(along up plane).
therefore μ=tanθ or θ=tan-1μ.

generally in such cases tan is related to μ.
