Weight of a bowling ball and the size of a baseball?

Is it made out of tungsten? It sounds dangerous. If you got hit with it, it would knock your teeth out.

Could you even throw it very far? It sounds like something that would be fired out of a musket or something.

Too many questions.

Damnit, I had to check.

A regulation baseball has a circumference of 9" to 9-1/4" (huh. I thought they would use something easy to check like Diameter, but I digress. ) That means a volume of 12.3 - 13.4 cubic inches.

I used 14lbs as an average bowing ball.

So the universal sportsball has a density of roughly 1.09 lbs/in3, or just over 30,000 KG/M3.

So... about 60% denser than tungsten, actually denser than any of the elements.

About the same as the sun's core (33,000 KG/M3)

Would be good for a game of

A sixteen pound ball is not something you fire out of a musket, that's age of sail naval cannon territory.
