Is Matter Around Us Pure?

Question:

How is cream separated from milk ?

Answer:

Milk is a suspension of tiny droplets of oil (cream) in a watery liquid. The process of centrifugation is used in dairie, Separate cream from, milk. The milk is put in a closed container in big centrifugation. When the centrifuge machine is switched on, the milk is rotated (or spun) at a very high speed in its container. Due to this, the milk separates into 'cream' and 'skimmed milk The cream, being lighter,flots over the skimmed milk .It can be removed.
