One can safely assume that the regulation baseball weight is specified to be 5 oz, without error bars: i.e. 5.000 oz. The point of not including extra signficiant figures would be to be conservative about the precision with which the quantity is known. For example, a 5.9 ounce baseball would weigh something in the neighborhood of .17 kg, which is wrong. However, though it is not included, it is a reasonable assumption that the weight of a baseball is defined to several decimal places (that is, it is NOT 5.9 ounces, or anywhere close), and in fact verified by more careful measurement. Given the anal nerdiness of baseball regulations, I am sure they do not just stick it on a 1 ounce precision meat scale. Determining the mass of the ball to .001 ounces may be a little much, but certainly to .1 or maybe even .01, with the last digit as we all know, being estimated by the experimenterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-59298044879972374852012-07-15T05:00:32.559-07:002012-07-15T05:00:32.559-07:00@Ranarius
