    What is the volume of a major league baseball?

    Question #19100. Asked by Mercman.

    eliasen says:

    According to the rules of Major League Baseball:

    'The ball shall be a sphere formed by yarn wound around a small core of cork, rubber or similar material, covered with two stripes of white horsehide or cowhide, tightly stitched together. It shall weigh not less than five nor more than 5 1/4 ounces avoirdupois and measure not less than nine nor more than 9 1/4 inches in circumference. '

    Since you asked about volume, the radius is given by circumference / (2 pi).

    The volume is given by 4/3 pi radius to the third power.

    So, this gives a minimum volume of 12.31 cubic inches, and a maximum volume of 13.36 cubic inches.

    In other measurements, this is a minimum volume of 201.7 cubic centimeters, and a maximum volume of 219.0 cubic centimeters.
