a) Tangential force
b) Centrifugal force
c) Circular force
d) Gravitational force
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Centrifugal forces keeps the ball in contact with the ball mill and with each other during the upward movement.
4 - Question
Which of the following is true, when operating speed is less than critical speed?
a) No grinding
b) Effective grinding
c) Best grinding
d) Bold grinding
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The speed at which the centrifuging occurs is called as the critical speed and little or no grinding tales place during this phase.
5 - Question
What is the angle of nip for ball mill?
a) 4π2n2 (R-d)/g
b) 4π2n2 (R+d)/g
c) 4π2n2 (R-r)/g
d) 4π2n2 (R-n)/g
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The angle of nip for a ball mill cos α is defined as 4π2n2 (R-r)/g, Where n is the speed of the rotation of the ball mill.
6 - Question
At critical speed, α = 0 and cos α = 1, what is critical speed?
a) n = nc
b) 2π = nc
c) g = nc
d) gn= nc
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The critical speed is given when the n i.e. the natural number of revolutions becomes the critical point and critical speed nc.

a) Natural speed
b) Full speed
c) Optimum speed
d) Critical speed
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: The equation represents critical speed where, g is the gravitational constant and R and r are the radius of ball and the ball mill.
8 - Question
What is percentage of tumbling mill speed?
a) 80 to 100%
b) 65 to 80%
c) 50 to 90%
d) 10 to 50%
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Tumbling mill runs at 65 and 80 percent of the critical speed, with lower values for wet grinding as well as dry tumbling.
