Basic Info about Bowling Balls.

 

If you have ever played bowling, you should know how heavy a bowling ball is. An average adult bawling ball weighs about 14 pounds (7.26 kg).

Earlier times, bowling balls were made of Lignum Vitae, which is a dense hardwood. But, beginning of 20th century, bowling balls were produced using a hard rubber. Now let’s move on to answer our initial question.

Will a 14-pound bowling ball float in the water?

See the answer with your own eyes. Erik Trinidad throws a bowling ball into the Dead Sea to see if the bowling ball floats in the water or not.

Answer: Yes, a 14-pound bowling ball will float only in the Dead Sea waters.

The Dead Sea contains 31% natural salt in its waters. This makes the Dead Sea waters 24 % denser than ordinary water.

There is another guy, who tested the uniqueness of Dead See by simply putting a large piece of rock on his belly and floating easily on his back.

It made me think that the Dead Sea could be a good place for those who can’t swim.
