very impressive that you stretched a simple answer called "literally nothing" up to 10 min....

The answer is nothing. Here, I saved your 10minutes

“If you’re a fish, you probably wouldn’t try to figure out how the pressure in the trench is affecting the steel ball” this is amazing insight! So true.

When you're trying to hit the word count on your English assignment:

That one kid who writes a thesis for a 1 mark question.

This video in a nutshell: Drop a steel ball into the Mariana Trench and it will sink in about 12 minutes, then over the years bacteria will oxidize it and it will break down into the silt. Throw a 15lb bowling ball in and it will sink in around 2 hr 20 min. It won't break down because its plastic, rubber and ceramic. There, now you know what you already kind of knew

I’ve actually sailed over the deepest part of the Mariana Trench when I was in the navy. I tossed a quarter in. I wonder what it looks like after almost 20 years??

"Few are ready to live in darkness, cold, and under tremendous pressure." My life

"What If You Throw a Steel Ball into the Mariana Trench" Steel ball will sink and nothing will happen. The end.

0:41 " I wouldn't recommend doing this" I was just about to drop a steel ball into the Mariana trench. Such a Party pooper.

Who watching this after the Titan vessel, went missing

This video was basically me stretching out my dissertation from 500 words to 15,000

"I won't bore you with formulas" No, you'll just bore us with 6 minutes of pointless buildup instead

This was the most oddly written script. Almost like someone who doesn’t speak english wrote it and hired a native speaker to read it aloud

Titan brought me here…

1000 years from now; a family on vacation in their personal submarine at the bottom of the Mariana Trench: _"What are all these bowling balls doing here?"_

Me: * Clicks This Video * Me: * Me Reads The Comments * Me: Ohhh youuuuu you almost got meeee

Long story short: It sinks.

I've always wondered if the fish are down there on their writing pad doing all these complex calculations, so thanks for clearing that up 🤔

Am I the only one that would love to be "bored" by the details of how he calculated the terminal velocity of the steel ball descending through the water? I'm sure it would be extremely enlightening...

"Imagine that you are a deep sea fish and a steel ball floats past you. It is unlikely that you would even try to figure out how pressure affects it." What the hell am I watching? UPDATE: I think many people misinterpreted this initial comment. The main source of my confusion is not that the fish would think about balls. I am fine with this. Fish may indeed think about balls. It is the use of the word "even". It implies that the fish OUGHT to be thinking of things that are MORE COMPLEX than the effect of pressure on steel balls. For example: "She didn't EVEN send a birthday card" implies you were expecting MORE than a card. So what does Ridddle really expect this fish OUGHT to be thinking about?!?!

"Littering the Mariana Trench with steel balls isn't a good idea, and I wouldn't recommend doing it." Well dammit there go my summer plans

I'm not bored with formulae. I want to know how you figured out the fall times. I also want to know what would actually happen to a steel ball dropped into the trench. I was, however, astounded to learn that the fish and other creatures in the depths would not wonder about the math...

Unless talking about a dense metal bowling ball, The first bowling ball made of plastics and other various materials would never make it to the bottom before being crushed by the weight of the water.

“Imagine you’re a deep sea fish.” Shows a freshwater angelfish.

Riddle: you can see the mariana trench without google using a satellite A few seconds later “Uses google”

What would happen to a Logitech game controller?

After reading the comments and listening to about half of this dribble I'm tapping out before I fall asleep. I guess I'll never find out what happens to a steel ball in the Mariana trench.

Some clarification: The answer isn't *"literally nothing"* it's *"Hardly Anything"*

It takes 12 minutes for the ball to reach the bottom. There. Now you don't have to watch a 10 min video out of which most of the time is a waste. (I wrote this comment before the 'Most Replayed' feature was added)

OK, for anyone who really cares: I looked up Stokes' Law, which governs sinking rates, and the formula for the volume of a sphere: Stokes' Law: Fd = 6πµRv where: Fd = dynamic drag (friction) π = "pi" = 3.14159... µ = viscosity R = radius v = flow velocity (sinking rate) We know that at terminal velocity, Fd = Fg (force of gravity) Fg = mg where m = mass g = acceleration of gravity And the mass of a sphere is volume x density, or: [(4/3)πR^3][ρ] where R^3 = radius raised to the 3rd power ρ = density This means that Fg = [(4/3)πR^3][ρ][g] and since Fd = Fg 6πµRv = [(4/3)πR^3][ρ][g] Since we want the effect of radius on sinking speed, let's get everything that's NOT "v" on the right side by dividing both sides by 6πµR: [(4/3)πR^3][ρ][g] v = ----------------------------------- 6πµR A lot of terms cancel out or are constant for the Earth: π is in the denominator and numerator, so disappears, g is the same everywhere, 4/3 / 6 = 2/9, ρ (density, remember?) is the same if we use the same material for different sized balls, and R^3 / R = R^2 (R squared), and µ (viscosity) is constant for water at a given temperature. So this equation simplifies to: 2gρ v = --------------- R^2 9µ Since 2gρ/9µ is a constant value (as long as we stay in the same place and use the same materials for all balls), this means that the larger the ball's radius, the faster the sinking rate. Probably more than anyone wanted to see, but I'm a nerd. What can I say. And this is the conclusive answer to whether or not the large balls (if they're steel or even iron) sink faster than the small one.

I'm more interested in what caused the formation of the trench than the fact it exists.

"What If You Throw a Steel Ball into the Mariana Trench" Talks about everything else for almost the entire video.

Theoretically speaking, Up yours Homie.

You’re here cause you heard about the submarine

When you're desperate to reach that 10 minute goal.

Humans:- What if We Throw a Steel Ball into the Marina trench Sea:- This trash just added to my collection!!

I’ll save you some time. Nothing happens to the Steel ball. At most it shrinks, but it’s so minor you can’t tell visually, and when it resurfaces, it expands back to original size.

Don't forget to clean up after myself 7 miles deep into the ocean? I'll send my Mother In-Law to sweep up my mess 😂😂

"What would happen if we threw a steel ball into the Mariana Trench?" "A splash?" Ridddle: *tidal waves, earthquakes, tsunamis, supernovae*

'I'm going to conduct my own scientific research' 'Imagine you're a fish and a steel ball floats past you, it's unlikely you'll try to figure out how pressure affects it..' 🤣

"Imagine you're deep sea fish and suddenly a steel ball floats past you",,,,,,,it's not 'floating', it's sinking.....and fast.

Thanks for explaining that fish don't understand pressure calculations. That was important.

Thumbnail : what if you throw a ball on a ocean Video : first off lets examine why we exist

Johnny: damn, the beach is beautiful today, wait wtf is that a tsunami, what tf did you do Gyro? Gyro: speeeen

What if the steel ball was spinning ?

What if you dropped a ball of plutonium ? Would it reach critical mass ?

Took 10 minutes to give a one-line answer. KZfaq trash content at its finest.

When you could cover this in 10 seconds but you make it 10 minutes instead, what a joke

I know, you know, we know Why you are here…

I think it is a lot more complex that the explanation here. Compressibility should be a factor. As pointed out in the video, metals will have negligible compressibility......but a bowling ball should crush a lot more as there is a lot more air in its mix. That will cause it to become more dense and slowly pick up speed as it descends, shouldn't it? An easy example.....in a swimming pool with a deep end (18+ feet deep), you can float on the surface. But swim down to the bottom and you may actually be able to stay there without flowing up because you have been slightly compressed by water pressure. If you scuba dive, you can see the affect even more easily.

The steel ball would get wet. 😂

10 minutes video just to tell what happens to a ball in Mariana Trench 😏

Ive been fortunate enough to have been working on a ship that crossed over the mariana trench. The color of the water over that deep of ocean literally messes with your mind. Its perfect;y clear yet the deeper you look it gets darker and darker blue. We were allowed to toss food waste overboard and i accidentally dropped a #10 can in the water. I was amazed how long i was able see it sink. The metal reflected the suns light until it looked like the faintest star in the night sky. Ill never forget that.

You’re right now watching this due to the sub incident.

"What If You Throw a Steel Ball into the Mariana Trench" The steel ball will spin and create a golden ratio infinite spin

1: Under pressure, compressible substances compress until their internal pressure is the same as the external. A human, for instance will not be "crushed" or "torn to pieces". Death is certain, but as soon as cavities containing air, like the lungs, has been compacted to almost nothing, nothing else will happen. The internal pressure of skin, fat, muscles, fluids, bones will become the same as the external pressure with very little compression. That's also how the fish living at these depths handle it. They don't feel the pressure any more than you feel the substantial atmospheric pressure around you. (continued. expand text) 2: "In order to change the shape of steel" it takes a Force! Not pressure! Pressure will never change the shape of steel, not even more than "108.6 MPa", (which btw happens to be close enough to the pressure in the challenger deep). 3: How fast a solid steel ball falls through water, when it has achieved "terminal speed", depends upon its size. For it to achieve a terminal velocity of "15 m/s" (which is very fast, btw, VROOOOM, 33.55 Mph), it would have to be 1.208 m in diameter and weigh 7.293 metric tonnes. A steel ball with a diameter of an inch, otoh, would get a terminal speed of about 2.17 m/s, and ball bearing steel ball with a diameter of 5 mm will get a terminal velocity of about 0.97 m/s.

Can you imagine if you took a submarine to the floor of the Mariana trench and then stuck your balls out of the submarine!

Instead of a steel ball, it would be crazy dropping a tungsten rod from the sky into the Mariana Trench.

Steel Ball: *Exists Jojo fans: You referenced us?

"The steel ball" will "run" straight through the trench while "spin"ning. And guess what else "YOU FELL FOR IT FOOL. THUNDER CROSS SPLIT ATTACK."

Crazy to think that there might be somewhere even deeper but nobody has discover it yet

One day a small sub will get lost while trying to see the Titanic.

This video made me feel nostalgic, it had been more than 20 years since I slept in class! 😅Thanx!

When you’re running out of content ideas so you quickly throw this video together, and you need to hit 10 minutes for ad revenue but don’t have much to offer to your viewers...

All good until you hit Leviathan with that steel ball and wake him up.

steel is made by a pressure literally millions times more than ocean pressure, so ya it wont even notice

Video: "When they, to be honest, aren't so strong." Gyro Zepelli: *angry Italian spinning*

Sorry, "Ridddle", but this is the worst science video I've ever seen.

Damn my Friday nights sure have changed

“Why not drop into the ocean for the sake of science” 😂 who’s gonna go get her gold bowling ball after? 😂😂

The only thing that would survive here would be a Nokia 3210

*at work tomorrow* Co-workers: heard it's supposed to snow tomorrow. Me: A bowling ball made of gold would hit the floor of the Mariana trench in 17 minutes.

Ah yes, Gyro and Johnny caused a massive vortex, they even forgot the golden spin energy was inside it.

What an inane post. Nothing will happen to a solid ball of steel. Nothing will happen to a flooded aluminum beer can either, provided the tab is pulled.

That 10 minute mark aint gonna hit itself

"What if we throw a Steel Ball into the Mariana Trech" IT WILL RUN, STEEL BALL RUN!

H̶o̶e̶s̶ Gyro Zepelli mad

from this video I have learned absolutely nothing

Using sonar here to determine depth as the story said is dead wrong. As a former US Navy sonar tech, it's widely known sound can't travel anywhere but up at a depth of around 6,500 feet. Sound cannot penetrate further. Tye author did weak research.

"no person can manage the pressure of Mariana Trench." Me, presurred by life: hold my stress.

Can we rename this video to "Send this to someone to waste 10min of their life"?

I made a bowling ball explode by merely leaving it in my Phoenix, Arizona garage.

The guy talking about physics and everybody expecting aliens to come out of there... Wow...

Imagine shooting your basket but miss it and u have to go all the way back down the mountain to get it

I was hoping he would elaborate more on the game of bowling, how these holed balls came to be, how their bright colors might also not make a dang difference at the bottom of the ocean, but instead I was left with this too short explanation, which could have been explored much further.

dont worry about clean up in the trench now, it's already too late, plastics have been found there now too.

Wtf was the point of telling us fish don’t care about this?

This was waisted time, you owe me 10 minutes, and 4 seconds of my life back.

"If you throw a STEEL BALL it RUNS deep"

If the ball reached 33 mph, some fish probably ended up with a headache.

Thank you for doing American measurements as well. 👍🏼

Teacher: the assignment must be 10 minutes long, minimum

“Technology wasn’t capable” Aka : they diddn’t bring enough rope...

this channel reminds me of stretching a paragraph into a 10 page essay

Now do a submersible

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Drop

"What If You Throw a Steel Ball into the Mariana Trench" It would land on a pile of plastic.

So this video is less about the title and more about the trench itself. Ok; that’s pretty cool. And the steel ball talk is explained in detail why nothing would happen, so it’s not worth complaining.

Steel ball float past fish. Fish: Guys, you never gonna believe me, but I saw an unidentified floating Object. UFOs exist dude!
