Apropos of the attempt of a number Of
ball players to catch a ba Il dropped from
the top of the Washington monument
and the opinions espresso as to the ability
of any one to accomplish the feat tn,
question arises if any of them has an idea
of the velocity acquired by ball drOppe,l
from height Of 800 feet by the time il
strikes the ground
The experiment was tried by Pau
Hines. sam Trott Charlie Snyder, fhi.
Eaker and others, but none succeeded in
holding it
Now the fact is that q ball so dropped
has velocity of lS feet per second when
it strikes the ground This velocity ca.
he better comprehendcd by om2aring ii
with batted ball.
The longest hit which the writer has
any knowledge OF was made by George
Wright. at indianapolis. when the ba
struck the ground few inches over POO
yards The ball. in this instance was
hit into the air at an angle of about ~
degrees. the most favorable angle for Il
long hit
Without giving the formula, will
state that as near a. can be calculated
the angle and the distance beng given
the initial velocity OF the ball in thi'
case is found TO be about 100 feet per
second
Allowing the same ball to have been
hit in the same direction, at the same
angle with sufficient force to give it the
same velocity at the starting point that ii
acquires in falling from the monument
top, it would have gone 344 yards.
