Question

Why are wet clothes spread out to dry them quickly?

Answer 1

1. The evaporation rate is directly proportional to the exposed surface area of the liquid.
2. The more the surface area of any liquid, the more will be the evaporation rate.
3. When wet clothes are spread out to dry, the surface area that is exposed to the sun will increase leading to a high evaporation rate.
4. Therefore, wet clothes are spread out to dry quickly.
