This number of 0.0400 kg for the basketball mass in the post
is not even remotely close to the real typical mass of a basketball.


Did you ever see and keep a basketball in your hands ?

Also, do you know or do you have a feeling what 0.0400 kilogram of mass means ?


If you know it, then make all necessary corrections in your post
