What makes your washing machine vibrate and make noise while on spin cycle?
your washing machine makes noises because all the clothes and other materials are not balanced evenly--one side is heavier than the other--causing the drum to hit the sides of the washer wall.
In the usage of a domestic clothes-washing machine what is the difference between spin dry and tumble-dry?
The spin dry function on a washing machine rotates the drum of the washing machine at high speeds. The drum is perforated so the clothes are spun hard against the drum while allowing the water to be flung out of the clothes. This removes the bulk of the water from the clothes, which makes rinsing efficient and drying quicker, but will not completely dry them. A high speed spin removes more water, but can crease clothing so it needs to be shaken out before hanging to dry. A tumble dryer or tumble dry function in a combination washer/dryer gently rotates the clothes so that they tumble within the drum while blowing heated air through them. The tumbling allows the air to reach all parts of the clothing and minimises creasing. The clothes can be completely dried.
Explain how spin dryer of the machine is able to dry clothes?
The basic idea is that you can remove most of the water in the clothes by spinning the drum that holds them really fast for quite a while. (Newer hi-tech dryers do a much better job of this than old fashioned ones, by the way.) As a couple of people already pointed out, a centripetal force is one pointing *toward* the axis of the rotating drum. A centripetal force from the inner drum's surface acts on the clothing to keep it moving in a circle as the drum spins. But the water in the fabric is only held to the fabric by a weak attraction. This force isn't strong enough to hold the water in the same circular path as the clothes when the drum spins fast, and the water flies out through the holes in the drum and gets pumped out to the drain. The spin cycle, the clothes will not fit through the holes in the washing machine's drum but the water will. This means that while the washing machine is able to exert a centripetal force on the clothes, the water absorbed by the clothes does not have the same amount of force exerted on it so it moves away from the axis of rotation (and out of the clothes). The force of the spinning action slings the water from the clothing into the outer basket and the pump removes the water from the tub. The washing has centripetal force acting on it because it is constantly changing direction, which equates to a change in velocity as velocity is a vector, therefore it's accelerating towards the center. (F=ma and F=(mv^2)/r are relevant formula's for force.)
What is machine material capacity?
Its the rate at which a machine can cover the field while performing an intended function
Why there is a vibration creating while spinning in washing machine?
While vibrations are normal during the spin cycle, the most common cause of excessive vibrations is an unbalanced load. Open your washer and look to see if more (or heavier) clothes are all on a single side. If they are, spread them out. If not, and you still feel your washer vibrates excessively, you may want to consult a repair person to see if your washer drum can be re-balanced.

What is the explanation of centrifugal force in a washing machine?
Centrifugal force in a washing machine occurs during the spin cycle. The spinning motion of the washer makes the clothes cling to the side of the washer drum, while the water is being sucked out by centrifugal force.
