A maximum diameter of a bowling ball is 8.6 inches what is the volume to the nearest tenth of a bowling ball with this diameter
+130555 LOLOLOL!!!!!
Good point......we'll consider it "pre-drilled".........only because I couldn't find any "finger hole" formulas to reduce the volume.......
I may see if Sir LA-Tex knows of any such formulae........he's pretty good at researching the obscure........!!!!
Stay tuned.......
+118725 The holes are near enough to cylinders so the formula is easy.
Here is a video that gives you the dimensions AND shows you how to drill the holes.
PLUS it is in imperial measurments so you lovely US people should be right at home :))
+130555 Thanks for that video, Melody........
Unfortunately.........Sir La-Tex doesn't fully grasp "imperial" measurements......
He deals easily with "imperial minims," however........
Also.....the problem with trying to ascertain a good estimate for "thumb and finger hole volume" is that this is equivalent to trying to determine how much of a pie is displaced by having one's thumb and fingers in it..........
Thus, there is probably some other "pie" component to our spherical volume estimation.......
+118725 Yes CPhill, You have made many very good observations here.
You know, fingers in pies is something I expect Sir Phill La-Tex is quite familiar with.
Chimps so like to put their fingers in their pies ..........
I wonder how that formula might go.
\(V=\displaystyle \int_0 ^{chimp\; digit\;l ength}\left(\pi r^2h-6\frac{\delta\pi}{\delta r}\right)dh\)
I had to subtract the 6 partial pies because Sir La-Tex had 5 of his friends over.
There was Lancelotlink, ..... I can't remember who the others were.
There was that brilliant female one, I have forgotten her name.....
Anyway, all chimps look the same to me.
