  1. centrifugal motion?


  2. centrifugal force the cloths  are forced to the outer side of the washing machine but are stopped by the walls but the water goes further because it can get through the holes in the washing machine

  3. The water and the clotes are pushed hard against the wall of the spinning washer or spin-dryer by the centrifugal force--the outward push you feel in a rotating frame of reference.  Small holes in the wall allow water to escape and drain off, but keep the clothes in.

  4. Centrifugal Force.

    This is the force which is present with circular motion. Centrifugal force is the force that pushes outwards from the axis of rotation. This force acts upon the cloths pushing them to the outer limits of the dryer. Not only are the cloths affected by the force, but also the water molecules present. The force continues to act upon the water molecules even once the cloths have reached the outside of the dryer. This water manages to escape through the holes is the dryer basket leaving the cloths waterless and dry.

  5. how the clothes are pushed against the walls of the dryer and the water goes through the holes... i'd say its gravity or something.

  6. "Centrifugal force" is da principle behind da removal of water frm da clothes in a spin dryer.In dis mechanism da water is thrown away.
