October 2022 — Question 21

What is the CLASSIFICATION of a spherical object made of vulcanized rubber covered by felt with a diameter of 2.58” and has a single slice through the center which allows the sphere to be placed over the leg of a hospital walker or of straight-legged chair allowing the walker or chair to slide across the floor? The spherical object appears to be a standard tennis ball, except for the slice which impedes bounce but makes it easier to put over the leg. The object is made up of two components neither of which is predominant. It is made up of 44-46 grams of rubber, 8-9.5 grams of felt. The rubber cost is $0.15 per unit and the felt cost is $0.31 per unit.
