Would it be cheating to look up the dimensions of a bowling pin? OK, I looked up the dimensions, but this is the best info I could find. It doesn't give the dimensions at the base, but I'll guess that it's 3 inches wide. Based on that info, I will guess that it's around 11-12 degrees. |

Hmmm...According to this article, a bowling pin needs 10 degrees of tilt in order to topple. http://encarta.msn.com/en...ia_761575956/Bowling.htmlPins are generally made of wood and plastic, and weigh between 1.53 kg and 1.64 kg (3 lb 6 oz and 3 lb 10 oz). Each pin is 38.1 cm (15 in) tall. Pins have a narrow neck that gradually widens to a diameter of 12 cm (4.75 in) at the widest point, called the belly. The pin then tapers to a base 5.7 cm (2.25 in) in diameter. This design causes the pin to fall if tilted 10 degrees.
