Chapter 10, Problem 9A
Does an inward force or an outward force act on the clothes during the spin cycle of an automatic washer?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Whether an inward force or an outward force acts on the clothes during the spin cycle of an automatic washer.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
A centripetal force acts on a body which travels in a circular path. This force is always directed towards the center of the circle in which the body rotates. For instance, a stone twirling in a circle tied to a string. The tension on the string is always directed towards the center of the circle.
Clothes in a washing machine revolve with the wall of the machine. In this cycle, a centripetal force acts on the clothes which is always directed inwards.
Conclusion:
In this cycle a centripetal force is acted on the clothes which is always directed inwards.
