Guest Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I was thinking of using a stick with a piece of gum/tape stuck to the end of it and stick the ball to it.....That's what I do with stuff I lose down cracks all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 POUR WATER INTO THE PIPE UNTIL THE BALL POPS OUT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 well lets see here, if i ever get a ball stuck in a pipe i would, umm i would get a new ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Seems fairly obvious, pour water in the pipe/cylinder and let the ball float to the top and out. If the pipe is slightly larger then water should flow past the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 It is very easy to pick the ball after filling the pipe full of water.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Table Tennis ball huh??? ...... how about just fill the pipe up with water? If that doesn't work, how about using Bernoulli's Principle, or the venturi effect, and create a vacuum by blowing air over the top of the pipe with .... say .... a leaf blower.

Guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 My solution would be to use a vaccum cleaner! SUCK IT OUT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Rather disgusting, but keep peeing into the hole until the ball floats to the top! (This may take several trips to the fridge...) dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Duh, you fill slowly fill the hole with water, which will then slowly push the ball up higher until it eventually flows right out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I remember this one from our Physics intro at Boston U. Just fill the pipe with water and the ball will float to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 i was going to say turn the pipe on so the water will allow it to rise to the top............. i was pretty close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Pour water into the hole such that the ball floats due to its low density, then u can easily take it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 CONFUCIUS SAY: Keep ball out of hole where it don't belong and you'll have no trouble.

Guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 The blatent and obvious answer is, either wait til it rains an the pressure from the water down the pipe will push the ball out!!!! Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 The blatent and obvious answer is, either wait til it rains an the pressure from the water down the pipe will push the ball out!!!! Simple. No, pressure from rain water falling down a 30 cm long pipe ain't gonna push that ball to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 simple fill the pipe with water and the ball will float to the top. assuming that the pipe is closed at one end. bends or no bends/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Fill the pipe with water. The ball will float up to the top. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I'd pour water in the pipe and let the ball float to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 lol this is kinda scary. I did this is Science Class about a week ago. 8th grade science class I mind you. But anyway. You blow down into the side of the cylinder. Thus the ari pressure will make the light ping pong ball rise into out of the hole. We had to find out how to get it from one cup to another without touching the ball. And finally everybody got it. Well there yours answer. Thanks for playing come again.
