Which of the following relationships between co-efficient of friction (μ) between rock & roll and a (half of the angle of nip) of the particle to be crushed is correct ?

Correct answer: B. μ ≥ tan α

  • A. μ > tan α
  • B. μ ≥ tan α
  • C. μ > tan 2α
  • D. μ ≤ tan α

Explanation

For particles to be nipped and drawn into the rolls, the friction coefficient must satisfy μ ≥ tan α, where α is half the angle of nip. Equality represents the limiting condition for successful gripping.
