Anyone Have This Happen ?

[rattyhammer]

Finally got off my tail & gave my Anger & Pain a bath. Worked real good. After about 10 washings no noticable oil coming from balls. I decided while I'm at it, I'll do the wifes TS. When I added water to the bucket, the fool thing floated. Had to hold it down to let the hot water work. Is it floating because it's only a 10# ball ? Was not real fun cleaning this one.

Yes

The lighter balls have a lot of filler in them to make them light

That would be kind of funny to see, in my opinion anyway.

If you've ever carried a gallon of water you know that water is not very light. A gallon of water weighs about 8 pounds.

Bowling balls range from 8 to 16 pounds. However they are all the same size. This means that the average density of an 8 pound ball must be HALF the average density of a 16 pound ball. The inside of a bowling ball can get complicated but basically manufacturers vary the size, shape and material of the core of the ball to adjust the weight.

So if one gallon of water weighs 8 pounds and an 8 pound bowling ball takes up more space than a gallon of water, the ball will float.
When an object is placed in water it will displace its weight in water . So the 8 pound ball is displacing 8 pounds of water but since it doesn't take up less volume than 8 pounds of water if floats.

Someone paid attention in Science.:D

There's an interesting link that someone posted a while back - can't remember whether it was here or in another forum. It links to a vid called Modern Marvels in which they tour the Ebonite plant. During this they explain, albeit briefly, how they get different ball weights by using differing amounts of filler.

The same vid also goes on to show the manufacture of Jellybeans. Also very interesting.

Thank you Mr. Science:D

Ok, where is your hall pass?

uhhh my teacher forgot to fill me one out.....it was an emergency....I lost it in the bathroom....my dog ate it:confused: :rolleyes:

I'd go with the My Dog Ate it one. It's more original.

You're excused.

You could just watch the dog and wait. However, if the pass was counterfeit the dog won't be able to pass it.
