(a) Given that the specific rates of breakage are based on 30 s in the mill, how long does it
take to completely crush all the material with size range between 75 µm and 106 µm?

The student needs to make a decision as to what value of y1 is deemed to be near zero (i.e.
completely crush). So if for example, the student decides if y1<0.001 is “good enough”, then
t= 210 s. If the student decides y1<0.0001, then t=270 s, etc.
