Smartwatches have become an essential gadget for many, offering convenience and connectivity right on your wrist. But have you ever wondered how many smartwatches it would take to equal the weight of a bowling ball? Let’s dive into the numbers to find out.
Product Example and Assumptions
For this comparison, we’ll use the Apple Watch Series 8 and a standard bowling ball. The Apple Watch Series 8, a popular choice among smartwatch users, weighs approximately 38.8 grams for the 41mm aluminum case model. On the other hand, a standard bowling ball typically weighs around 6 kilograms, which is equivalent to 6000 grams.
Calculation
To determine how many Apple Watch Series 8 units weigh as much as a bowling ball, we perform the following calculation:
Weight of one Apple Watch Series 8 = 38.8 grams
Weight of one bowling ball = 6000 grams
Number of Apple Watches = 6000 grams / 38.8 grams per watch
Number of Apple Watches ≈ 154.64
Since you can’t have a fraction of a smartwatch, it would take approximately 155 Apple Watch Series 8 units to equal the weight of a standard bowling ball.
Volume and Cost
Next, let’s consider the volume and cost of these smartwatches. The Apple Watch Series 8 has a case size of 41mm, which translates to a volume of approximately 12,000 cubic millimeters (or 12 cubic centimeters) per watch. Therefore, the total volume for 155 watches would be:
Total volume = 155 watches * 12 cm³ per watch
Total volume = 1860 cm³
In terms of cost, the Apple Watch Series 8 is priced at around 399 dollars. Therefore, the total cost for 155 watches would be:
Total cost = 155 watches * 399 dollars per watch
Total cost = 61,845 dollars
Conclusion
In practical terms, it would take approximately 155 Apple Watch Series 8 units to match the weight of a standard 6-kilogram bowling ball. These watches would occupy a total volume of 1860 cubic centimeters and cost around 61,845 dollars. This comparison highlights the lightweight and compact nature of modern smartwatches compared to everyday objects like a bowling ball.
