The number of lead balls required to make one pound is determined by the weight of each individual lead ball. Since lead has a specific density, the size and volume of the balls will dictate how many are needed to reach a total weight of one pound. For example, smaller lead balls will require more to reach one pound compared to larger ones. Thus, the relationship between the size of the balls and the total weight is key in this determination.

How many ping pong balls together make a pound?
A Ping Pong ball is 2.7 grams, so a pound of them would be about 169 of them. 455 g lb-1 / 2.7 g ball-1 = 168.52 balls lb-1
How many pounds is lb?
lb is the abbreviation for pound. It IS the word pound. It does not have a number.
How many golf balls would it take to weigh one pound?
A single pound is 16-ounces, and a single golf-ball is... roughly (as I am not a frequent golfer) around 3-ounces (and I'm positive that they can vary, depending.)A 3-ounce golf ball can fit into a pound 5 times. A 2-ounce golf ball can fit into a pound 8 times.Does it specify the balls' size?Either way... you truly should be doing this on your own, for your best interests.Good luck.

How many ounces in a pound of sharp cheese?
A pound always has the same number of ounces. It doesn't matter whether it is a pound of cheese or of anything else.
How is a shot gun gauge determined?
It is determined by the number of lead balls of the same diameter as the barrel bore needed to make one pound. e.g. 12 lead balls of .735" diameter weigh one pound - therefore the shotgun with that bore size is called a 12 gauge.
What are shotgun gauge sizes related to in inches?
Shotgun gauges are determined by the number of lead balls of a given diameter required to make one pound of that size ball. Thus 10 balls of 10 gauge diameter are required to make one pound of such balls, or 20 balls of 20 gauge diameter are required to make one pound, and so forth. This is the traditional, and very old, system. The actual (nominal) bore diameters of the various gauges are as follows: 10 gauge = .775 inch, 12 gauge = .729 inch, 16 gauge = .662 inch, 20 gauge = .615 inch, 28 gauge = .550 inch. The .410 is named for its nominal bore size, and is not a gauge at all.
How is shotgun gauge measured?
A shotguns gauge is a measure related to the diameter of the smooth shotgun bore and the size of the shotshell designed for that bore. Gauge or diameter of the bore is determined by the diameter of 1 lead pellet times the number of pellets required to equal 1 pound. ex. 12 gauge is equal to the diameter of 1 of the 12 lead balls that equals 1 pound. ex. 20 gauge is equal to the diameter of 1 of 20 lead balls that equals 1 pound. ex. 3 gauge is equal to the diameter of 1 of the 3 lead balls that equals one pound. The larger number of gauge the smaller the bore.
How do you tell the gauge of a shot gun?
The gauge of a shotgun is determined by the diameter of its bore, specifically the number of lead balls of a specific diameter that would weigh one pound. For example, a 12-gauge shotgun means that 12 lead balls with a diameter equal to the shotgun's bore would weigh one pound. To find the gauge, you can also measure the bore's diameter in inches and then refer to a gauge chart, as the number of balls that fit into a pound decreases with increasing gauge number (i.e., 12-gauge is larger than 20-gauge).
What does gauge mean in guns?
Refers to shotgun bore size. Specifically, it refers to the number of lead balls of that bore size that it takes to make one pound. A twenty gauge takes 20 balls to the pound where a 12 gauge takes 12 balls.
Measure balls by an ounce or pound?
What kind of balls?
What is the a measure related to the diameter of the bore and the size of the shot shell designed for the bore?
The measure related to the diameter of the bore and the size of the shotgun shell is known as "gauge." The gauge is determined by the number of lead balls of the bore diameter that equal one pound; for example, a 12-gauge shotgun has a bore diameter that allows for 12 lead balls of that diameter to weigh one pound. The smaller the gauge number, the larger the bore size. This system is commonly used to classify shotguns and their corresponding ammunition.
What ways more a pound of steel balls or a pound of feathers?
Their weights are identical, namely 1 pound.
What determines the gauge of a shotgun?
That is the diameter of the inside of the barrel- the smaller the number, the bigger the shell. Ignoring the .410 (which is NOT a guage)- guage was the number of round lead balls that could be made from one pound of lead that would fit the barrel. So a 20 g shotgun- 1 lb would make 20 balls. A 12 g, 1 pound would make 12 balls.
What is the origin of shotgun shot size. I know Gauge is the number of balls in a pound of lead. Where did shot size come from?
Shotgun gauge diameter is determined by how many balls of lead the diameter of that gauge will equal one pound. Thus it takes 10 lead balls of 10 gauge diameter to equal one pound of weight. And 16 lead balls of 16 gauge diameter to equal one pound.Thats why the gauge number decreases when the diameter increases. SHOT SIZE It seems the history of shot size is uncertain. There are at least 24 different methods of determining shot size around the world. The method used in the USA currently is to subtract the shot size number from 17 and that number is the diameter in hundredths of an inch. Thus #4 shot would be 17-4=13 or .13" in diameter. Why 17, I cant find anyone who knows, so anybody know?

Certain types of bowling balls when places in water float Explain how this is possible?
Certain WEIGHTS of bowling balls float. Bowling balls have a volume of 6250 cm3. An equal amount of water would weigh 6.25 kilograms. A bowling ball that weighs less than 6.25 kilograms--8-pound, 10-pound and 12-pound balls--will float. 14-pound and 16-pound balls, having a density higher than 6.25 kilograms, will not float.
