Re: [Phys-l] An intersting integral calc. problem.

 Good question.
It parses two ways:
real ball?
real golf ball?

There is always the possibility of massaging an image via a finite 
element package.
Though real golf balls vary, this image seems to depict something out of 
the useful range:
an experimental  ball of such high fluidity and low coefficient of 
restitution would be
 all but useless for golf, one supposes.
