Re: The physics behind trackball inflation

The mass of the air inside the ball could make a difference in a design that "shoots" the ball....that's a significant added load....that I had not thought of!

thanks for the lesson!

Re: The physics behind trackball inflation

i just fill it up ,weigh my self, then weigh myself while holding the ball and take the diffrence... easy math for us k.i.s.s people ... then to double chech take a string and take the circumfrence and divide by pi.... easy enough to the point of i have a 10lb 40 in diamater trackball

But you have to move the ball, too. For that you'll need to know the mass, as described above.
