Solution

Dear Student,

In the context of vapourisation/evaporation following are the factors that speeds up the rate of evaporation -

a. Spread the cloth by avoiding wrinkles on it. Increase in surface area increase the rate of evaporation.
b. Dry in it a windy area. Blowing wind acrries away the water particles from the wet cloth making the evaporation faster.
c. Dry it in the sun. Increase temperature makes the vapourisastion of surface water molecules faster.
