A regulation tennis ball is made of an elastic material and can be modeled as a sphere.
The center of the tennis ball is hollow, filled with pressurized air. You may assume the mass of air inside the
tennis ball is negligible.
The elastic portion of the tennis ball has a mass of 58 grams [g].
The outer diameter is 2.6 inches (in] and elastic material has a thickness of 3 millimeters (mm).
What is the specific gravity of material used to form the tennis ball?
