It's about one-forty-fifth as heavy as a Bowling Ball
The weight of a Bowling Ball is about 1,750 fluid drams (ʒ).
(most common selection among male bowlers)
With an allowable range of 1,283.333330 fluid drams (ʒ), the most-preferred bowling ball weight among adult, male bowlers is 1,750 fluid drams (ʒ). Because regulation balls measure the same diameter irrespective of their weight, ball density varies by size and balls weighing less than about 1,286.02986 fluid drams (ʒ) will float in water.
