Solution

Dear Student

Milk is a suspension of tiny droplets of oil (cream) in a watery liquid.

The process of centrifugation is used to separate cream from milk.
The milk is put in a close container in a centrifuge machine. When the centrifuge machine is switched ON, the milk is rotated at a very high speed in the container.
The centrifugal force acts on the milk and due to which the milk separates into cream and skimmed milk. The cream is lighter so it floats over the skimmed milk and thus can be removed.
