As part of my research for a class I'm taking, I have been asked to find the lift coefficient for a baseball. To do this, I need to know its diameter and its weight.

Molly,

Since you are doing class research, sounds like a sicence project, it would seem to me that it would be rather basic to measure and weigh a ball your self, wouldn't it? Rather then going on a web sight and possilbly getting wrong infromation?
