Re: buoyant cannon balls



spherical shape of projectiles is conceptually simplier that a "wing", for
example. Even a cylinder is more complicated because it has only one axis
of symmetry. A tilted cylinder may act as a "wing". Doing experiments with
spherical projectiles is preferable because the interpretation is simplier.
