    A centripetal forces Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B centrifugal forces Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C central forces Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D non central forces Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The spin dryer is probably the most familiar centrifuge. The spin dryer of a washing machine removes excess water from the clothing by rotating at a high speed. The high speed of rotation creates a high centrifugal force for the water in the clothing which causes it to be pulled to the outside of the spinning portion of the washing machine and away from the clothes.
