8" Soccer Ball

Post by freds »

We are allowed 3" of the ball within the frame. Can someone calculate the height from the floor to the top of the ball when we have 3" within our frame?

In my drawings, I have calculated the length of the chord that will sit between the rollers. I believe it's roughly 8" and labeled as "c" on my drawings.
