- Their clothes tend to stick together after they pass through the dryer. Because? Do you expect that, on drying, assuming that all clothes are made of the same material (say, cotton), the agglutination will be higher or lower than in the case of clothes made with different materials? Because? (You may want to do the experiment the next time you do laundry.)arrow_forwardThe nearby town of Bellefonte, PA features the Gamble Mill, an old mill originally used to grind grain into flour in the 1800s for hydropower. The mill dam, pond, mill race and tail race are still in place and functional. The mill building is now a restaurant (currently for sale), but all the water works are owned by the borough. The municipal manager wants to put the system back to work as a small hydroelectric system to help supply the borough's electricity. Does this idea make sense? How much power could this system produce? The height difference between the mill race and the tail race is ten feet (3 meters), and the stream can supply, on average, 100 cubic feet of water per second (2.8 m3/sec). The planned turbine would be 72% efficient under those conditions.
