In Part 1, we classified female students into nine clusters by time consumption on the whole items of daily activities. In this paper, we classified the same subjects as those discussed in Part 1 into some clusters by information activities. And the relation between these clusters and the clusters by Part 1 was analyzed. Main results are as follows:
1. Using seven information activities, we classified the subjects into ten clusters.
2. The relation between these clusters and nine clusters by Part 1 was found. Namely, much time consumption of work in the whole activities reduced the time consumption of conversation in the information activities and consumption of much relaxed time in the whole activities increased the time consumption of conversation in the information activities.
3. The ratio of time of “concentrated” conversation (wtihout other activities) to the total time of conversation was merely twelve percent. And another time of conversation was spent for “parallel” conversation (with other activities) . The lelation between the parallel conversation and the whole activities was obtained.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the performance of a household drum-type washer in comparison with that of a new flow type washer. The relation between mechanical energy input evaluated by electricity consumption and soil removal and that between mechanical energy input and fraying of cloth were investigated using the amount of detergents recommended for pulsator-type washers by manufacturers in both washers. The summary is as follows:
In the drum-type washer, effects of bath level and foam in the wash liquor on the mechanical energy input to the cloth are different from those in the new flow-type washer. A low bath level causes a large mechanical effect on the cloth. Foam in the wash liquor depresses the mechanical energy imparted to the cloth by falling into the wash liquor. For any given energy input, detergency or fraying of cloth in low-forming bath is higher or larger than that in higher-foaming bath.
A correlation is observed between detergency and logarithm of fraying of cloth, irrespective of foaming property of the wash liquor, bath level, bath ratio or washing time, and it fits in well with a correlation obtained in the new flow-type washer. It seems to suggest that these two types of washer have the same mechanism of detergency, that is, detergency caused by small-scale inter-fiber fluid motion.

A similarity rule of the draped figures for sheets was investigated by using a model of the F.R. L.drape test. We assumed that the relation between own-weight and the resistant forces could be expressed by the following equation:
P_w=P₁+P₂+P₃
where,
Pw : own-weight of the sheet,
P₁ : resistant force against the bending,
P₂ : resistant force against the compression,
P₃: other resistant forces.
In this paper, we devised a joint model as both P₁and P₂among the above three forces acted at the same time on the draped sheets, and the similarity rules of the draped figures for sheets were examined by using the joint model. Results obtained were as follows:
1) It was shown quantitatively that the major mechanical component forming the draped figures for sheets was the bending length, i.e., Peirce'scof the F.R.L. drape test.
2) A similarity condition for draped figures was obtained on the joint models constructed from different sheets, and a boundary condition for the equal deformation rate was obtained on the deformation caused by the P₃.
3) A possibility was shown that the components of the P₃could be analyzed from this mode.
