According to the Roanoke College C&E News Summary of March 29, 1999: "Who has ever seriously considered what goes in to making baseballs? To Rawlings, this knowledge is excrutiatingly important. Today, instructiouns call for a cork nucleus that weighs exactly 0.5 oz and is 2.86 to 2.94 inches in diameter. It is to be incased in two thin rubber layers - one black, one red - and weigh a total of 7/8 oz. This nucleus is then machine-wound under high, consistent tension with 121 yards of four-ply blue-gray wool, 45 yards of three-ply white wool yarn, 53 more yards of three-ply blue-gray wool yarn and 150 yards of fine white polyester-cotton blend yarn. THis is coated with rubber cement before the cover is put on. The cover consistes of two pieces of elongated figure-eight-shaped white cowhide, dampened to permit strething, which is then handstiched together with 216 raised stitches, using 88 inches of red cotton thread. Finally, the ball is rolled for 15 seconds while still slightly damp so the seams are even and reasonable flat.
At this point, the balls are still not ready for the big league. Balls are selected at random from each shipment and shot from an air cannon at 85 feet per second at a wall made of northern white ash (the wood used to make bats). Each tested ball must bounce back at between 0.514 and 0.578 of its original speed to be suitably lively for Major League Baseball."

Find out the square root for that given number using string?
Halv that given number,Make a square that has that half number as the length of a side.Stretch the string across the diagonal of the square from corner to corner.The length of the string is the square root of the given number
What does mm translate in dollars?
mm is a unit of length; it doesn't make sense to convert it to dollars. Unless you have something measured by length, such as a string, which has a specific cost per meter or per mm.
How do you make a right angle out of a piece of string?
All you have to do to make a right angle out of a piece of string is put the string in the shape of an L. This will make a right angle
How do you make a pendulum clock is it the weight or the length of the string?
It is the length of the pendulum that matters (for small angles of swing): period ~= 2{pi}sqrt(length/g) Note that the "length" specified above is the length between the pivot and the centre of the mass of the pendulum, which is usually somewhere near the centre of the bob due to lightweight string and heavy bob on the end. Pennies (1d coins) are used to adjust the period of the clock in St Stephen's tower of the UK's Parliament building (of which the hour bell is Big Ben) not by adjusting the weight of the bob, but by adjusting the centre of the mass of the bob by stacking the coins towards the pivot.
What shapes make the perimeter of 34?
A triangle with sides 34/3 in length. A square with sides 34/4 in length. Any regular polygon with sides 34/n in length, with n being the number of sides. A circle with radius 34/(2pi) There are infinite possibilities. Take a piece of string 34 units long. Any shape you can make out of this will have a perimeter of 34, provided that the two ends touch.
If you change the length of the string will it make the frequency increase or decrease?
increase the length of the string means decrease the tension in the string, therefore as the tension decreases the frequency will drop due to loosen of the string.
Can you trim the string on your wisdom teeth stitches?
Yes you can. It might make it slightly harder for the dentist to remove but will not be a problem. Grow a pair.
How many 4 foot length of string can you cut from a string that is 3 yards and 1 foot long?

How do you make loopy stitches in knitting?
You can make dropped stitches, which are super simple if you know how to do yarn overs.
How do you make a hair braid?
You get string as long as hair. You tie string with a knot to root of hair. You twist string around hair. Then you tie a knot at the end once you have desire length. You can add beads to the end
How would you change the length of a string to create a higher pitch?
Shorten the string. Shorter strings make higher pitches (e.g. violin); longer strings make lower pitches (e.g. double bass).
What is the wavelength of the standing waves if the string is 1.5 m long?
The wavelength of the standing wave is 3.00 m, that is double the string length of 1.50 m.
How many millimeters is 50 grams of tuna?
Millimeters is length, grams is weight. Depending on how thin a string you can make it in, 50 grams can be pretty much any length.
Why a sitarist adjust the tension in the string of sitar?
The frequency of a string depends on its length, linear density, and tension. Most musical instruments are designed to make it easy to quickly change the tension; this will tune the instrument, or rather, the corresponding string.
Do people kill cats to make stitches?
Most stitches now a days are synthetic...so no
How do you add stitches to make more stitches?
This process is called increase. You can increase stitches by one when you knit in both the front and the back of a stitch, thus turning a single stitch into two stitches.
