How many degrees does a bowling plane have to tilt to fall down?

A bowling pin must tilt at an angle of approximately 10 to 15 degrees from its vertical position to begin to fall over. This angle can vary slightly depending on factors like the pin's weight distribution and the surface it's on. However, once it exceeds this threshold, gravity will cause it to topple.

Why is a bowling lane 60 feet long in 10 pin bowling?

A bowling lane is 60 feet long in 10-pin bowling to create a standardized playing area that balances skill and challenge. This distance allows bowlers to develop precision and technique while delivering the ball towards the pins, which are strategically set 12 inches apart. The length is also conducive to the physics of bowling, ensuring that factors like speed, spin, and trajectory can effectively influence the outcome. Standardizing lane length helps maintain consistency in competitive play across different bowling alleys.

What quality of a bowling ball enables it to plow through a set of pins without slowing down?

How much room do you have to make a single pin spare?

Assuming a straight shot:

width of the ball + width of the pin + width of the ball:

8.59" + 4.77" + 8.59" = 21.95"

In reality making a 10 pin (edge of the lane) or making a 5 pin (middle of the lane) have the exact same window to be converted. The problem comes for bowlers who hook the ball and may stray to the right of the window hoping to hook back but instead ending up in the gutter. The moral of the story is to throw a straight ball at all single pin spares for the most consistent chance of make these.

Why is a Brooklyn strike called a Brooklyn?

My guess is because Brooklyn lanes are historically poorly maintained leading to dry conditions. These dry lane conditions lead to the ball hooking to the "Brooklyn" side of the headpin. Purely conjecture though.
