We can approximate the radius of a Bowling ball to be about 26.7", the formula for calculating the volume of a sphere is (4/3)*pi*r^3 ,so the volume of our bowling ball is 79730.12 cubic inches

A bowling ball is essentially a sphere. The formula for the volume of a sphere is 4(pi)r3/3. This will give you the approximate volume of the bowling ball, although I do not know how to calculate for the finger holes. So take the radius of the bowling ball (half the diameter), cube it, multiply by 4 pi (you can approximate pi as 3.14) and divide the whole thing by 3. Example: If the bowling ball is 9 inches across, the radius is 9/2 - 4.5 inches. The volume is 4 * 3.1416 * 4.5*4.5*4.5 /3 = 381.7 cubic inches. Since this is equal to about 6250 cm3, you could verify by measuring the displacement of water by a bowling ball, to see if it displaces 6 liters of water. (Variations are due to ball size and finger holes.)

What is the density of a 200 g mass bowling ball?

The density of the bowling ball would depend on its volume, which is needed to calculate density. Without knowing the volume of the bowling ball, we cannot determine its density. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume.

If soccer ball and a bowling ball are about the same size why does the bowling ball have more mass?

The bowling ball is denser than the soccer ball, meaning it has more mass packed into the same volume. This is due to the material and construction of the bowling ball, which is designed to weigh more for the sport it is used in.


A ten-pin bowling ball has a volume of about 5274 cm cubed A candlepin bowling ball has a volume of about 48 inches cubed Which has the greatest volume?

I suggest that a candlepin bowling ball cannot have a volume of 48 inches cubed since that is huge. 48 inches cubed = 48"*48"*48" = (48*2.54cm)*(48*2.54cm)*(48*2.54cm) >120*120*120cm3 = 1 728 000 cm3 which is more than 300 times larger than the 5274 cm cubed ball.

A bowling ball fits tightly against all sides of a cardboard box that it is packaged in Find expressions for the volume of the ball and box Leave π in your answer?

I'll assume the bowling ball is a perfect sphere (with finger holes cut out). If the radius of the ball is r, then its diameter is 2r. The ball fits snugly in the box, so its diameter must be the length of one of the sides of the box. Thus the volume of the box is 8r3. The volume of the ball is 4/3πr3
