Case Study Of P. O. W. # 4: Pockets Of Pool
P.O.W. #4
Pockets of Pool
Problem Statement
For this POW imagine a modified pool table in which the only pockets are those in the four corners. This POW will use a “bird’s eye view” or looking at the table from above all the time, with different parts and shapes of the table labeled. Next, imagine that the ball is hit from the lower left, in a diagonal direction that forms a 45 degree angle. Finally, let’s say that every time the ball hits a side of the table, it bounces off in a 45 degree angle, and stays that way until it hits one of the 4 pockets. The path of the ball will always depend on the shape and size of the table. Like with a square table, the ball will always go directly into the opposite corner pocket without bouncing at all.
