Question

Baseball drag data from the University of Texas are shown
in Fig.  A baseball weighs approximately 5.12
ounces and has a diameter of 2.91 in. Hall-of-Famer Nolan
Ryan, in a 1974 game, threw the fastest pitch ever recorded:
108.1 mi/h. If it is 60 ft from Nolan’s hand to the catcher’s
mitt, estimate the sea-level ball velocity which the catcher
experiences for (a) a normal baseball, and (b) a perfectly
smooth baseball.
