16 Lb Pound Bowling Ball

Question Will a 16 pound bowling ball sink to the deepest part of the ocean and how long would it take?
A person is sitting in a boat in the middle of the ocean above the deepest part of the worlds oceans. They launch a 16 lb. ball over the edge in an attempt to reach the bottom depths of any trench. Will the ball ever reach the bottom? How long would it take to reach the bottom? Would something else happen to the ball as it sank? (Eg. implode? stop? taken away by a current?)

Best Answer The bowling ball would sink. It comes down to density, although pressure would keep building as the depth grew, the density of water stays the same. As does the ball. Never would the ball lose mass. Therefore it can never float or be suspended by water. Would a current take it? It is possible, some currents are quite strong however it would not be able to travel too far as it would sink at a rapid rate. It would hit the bottom in a fairly short amount of time, and although many objects would implode under such great pressure, a solid bowling ball is so hard and resilient that it would not implode. If you could measure it in intervals smaller than a millimeter it might shrink but nothing you could determine with a ruler.

Question Mock Draft pre-combine:?
1.Detroit Lions-Matt Stafford QB- They need a franchise QB and can get a OT later in the 1st like Britton. 2.Rams-Eugene Monroe OT- Best OT in the draft in my mind. Will impress at the combine. They get Paces replacement finally. 3.Chiefs-Andre Smith OT-They need a guy opposite of Albert at OT and this pick will be worth the money. 4.Seahawks-Mark Sanchez QB- They need a new QB and Wallace isn't the answer. He will be groomed for a season behind Hasselback. 5.Browns-Malcolm Jenkins CB- They need a shut down CB and Jenkins is that physical Woodson type. 6.Bengals-Michael Oher OT-Stacy Andrews let them down and he is gone so they need someone to protect Palmer. 7.Raiders-Michael Crabtree WR-best WR in the draft and Al loves the skill position players. 8.Jaguars-Jason Smith OT- They need a young guy for their aging line although Raji will get a look here. 9.Packers-BJ Raji DT- They need a NT for their newly formed 3-4 D. 10.Niners-Everette Brown OLB-Will have a solid combine and be a top pick for a team needing a OLB presence. 11.Bills-Jeremy Maclin WR-They need a guy to stretch the field opposite Evans and Maclin is that guy 12.Broncos-Aaron Curry LB-They need a pass rush but they also need a ILB with DJ Williams and Curry fits the bill as the best LB available. 13.Redskins-Brian Orakpo DE-They badly need a pass rush and Orakpo is the best guy available 14.Saints-Vontae Davis CB-Provides athleticism and physicality to their CB position to compliment the young Tracy Porter. DJ Moore might get a look here. 15.Texans-Peria Jerry DT-They need a guy to compliment Williams and Okoye and the safety class is weak so Jerry is the best available. 16.Chargers-Rey Maualuga-They need a ILB presence next to Cooper and Maualuga presents that and adds leadership. 17.New York Jets-DJ Moore CB- They need a CB next to Revis and Moore is the best CB left on the board 18.Chicago Bears-Aaron Maybin-They need a pass rush and Maybin is the best prospect available to make their D better again 19.Buccaneers-Chris Wells RB- They are going to be a pound the ball mentality type of team and Wells brings that. 20.Lions-Eben Britton OT-They need someone opposite Cherilus and to help protect Stafford in a similar move to what the Falcons did last year. 21.Eagles-Knowshon Moreno RB-They will pass on Pettigrew as Celek has shown promise and get Westbrooks successor. 22.Vikings-Hakeem Nicks-They need a solid route runner to compliment Berrians game breaking speed 23.Patriots-Brian Cushing LB- They get a versatile guy who Belicheck likes who can play OLB or ILB and take over for Bruschi or Vrabel in the future. 24.Falcons-Brandon Pettigrew TE-Ryan needs a TE to throw to and Pettogrew gives them that and solid blocking for Turner 25.Dolphins-Tyson Jackson DE-They need a DE presence on their 3-4 D line.. 26.Baltimore Ravens-Alphonso Smith CB-The Ravens are impressed with his skill set at the senior bowl and he will do well at the combine 27.Colts-Darrius Heyward-Bey-They need a guy to replace Harrison and no DTs worth this pick are left. 28.Eagles-William Beatty OT-They need a young OT on their aging O line with Thomas and Runyan not expected to be back 29.Giants-James Lauranaitis LB-They need a guy to strengthen their weak LB corp. 30.Titans-Alex Mack C-They need Mawaes replacement. 31.Cardinals-LeSean McCoy-Edge is expected to get cut and is old anyways and they need someone to compliment bruiser Hightower 32.Steelers-Duke Robinson OG-Brings a big presence to the O line and the way they pound the football. Hmm ramswo the Seahawks might not get Bradford and Tebow is not a franchise QB let alone a first rounder. WR is not their biggest need its CB and safety and possibly LT. I know way more about prospects then you so I know where Lauranaitis will be and that is not #11. How do you know Lauranaitis is a top 20 pick? Cause Kiper said so? I know all about the draft prospects so not sure why you trying to sound smart. Who said Crabtree will be a Seahawk? Did they pick him? I gave them a logical choice. Sorry I didn't copy Kiper. Maybe you should stop going to espn and thinking you can one up me.

Best Answer All I care about is the Chargers are most likely gonna get Rey Maualuga. The guy's a beast and will definately be an asset to the Chargers defense. EDIT: Frankly, I don't see how Marc Sanchez will be drafted fourth. Even though the Seahawks need a QB, it shouldn't be their #1 priority. Sanchez will probably go in the 2nd or 3rd round.
