Open in App
Solution

The centrifugal force between the clothes and the inside of the drum pushes them around in a circle. This force pushed the water from the clothes straight through the drum holes.
The clothes experience centrifugal force, and the water doesn’t. The clothes go round in a circle and spin, the water goes in a straight line - straight through the holes of the drum. And this gets the clothes washing dry. [2 marks]
