Measure the surface roughness of a standard basketball. Compute the velocity needed to shoot a free throw if the ball is launched at an initial angle of 45°, and drag is neglected in this initial calculation. Use this velocity to compute a Reynolds number, and based on the data of Achenbach, determine whether the boundary layer around a basketball is laminar or turbulent.
