A vernier caliper should be used to measure the diameter of a steel ball.
Submerge the ball, if it's small enough, into a graduated cylinder and measure the volume change. Take that number and divide it by 4, then divide it by 3.1415, then multiply it by three, then take the cube root of it, then multiply it by 2. There's your diameter!
-- Measure the diameter of the ball (the fattest dimension).-- Take the "cube" of that number. (itself x itself x itself)-- Multiply the result by 0.5236The answer is the volume of the ball in cubic-(same unit as the diameter of the ball).Note: Where the 0.5236 came from ... it's (4/3 pi) x (1/2)3
In the US, a billiards ball or pool ball is 2.25 inches in diameter. This is 1.125 for its radius. The only exception is the oversize cue ball, which is 2.375 inches in diameter.

A men's ball is about 9.55 inches (24.26 cm) in diameter and a women's ball is about 9.23 inches (23.44 cm) in diameter.
The instrument used to measure the diameter of spherical objects is called calipers.
Its usually defined by the diameter of the ball, like an 11 inch disco ball would have a diameter of 11 inches, not a radius of 11 inches.
The volume of the ball, right? You can measure the ball's diameter, divide by 2 to get the radius, then use the formula for the volume of a sphere. If you find it difficult to measure the diameter, you can also measure the circunference, and divide that by (2 x pi) to get the radius.
measure the circumference, c. Since c = pi x d where d = diameter pi = 3.1415926535897932384676..... diameter = circumference / pi
Submerge the ball, if it's small enough, into a graduated cylinder and measure the volume change. Take that number and divide it by 4, then divide it by 3.1415, then multiply it by three, then take the cube root of it, then multiply it by 2. There's your diameter!
Calipers are for measuring diameter of rounded objects. For instance you measure a ball, then carefully not changing the measurement pull the caliper off the ball and measure the gap between it's points with a ruler.
circumference: 65-67 cm weight: 260-280 g inside pressure: 0.30-0.325 kg/cm2
The width of a ball is its diameter, so the diameter of a ball that is 24 cm wide is 24 cm.
