Imagine, they started doing this essential and monumental experiment while bombs were dropping on London and D-Day was in progress.

Depends on how fast the ball is thrown, how the pitcher grips the ball, the release, etc. I’ve seen Nolan Ryan’s fastball rise in slow motion as it approaches the plate, and batters swing under it.
Oh? Not about baseball? Nevermind!

“2x107 Pa s
“Any reason it’s not expressed as 214 Pa s?”
The actual number is 20,000,000. The person typing didn’t know how to insert a superscript.

The drop missed is expressed with a chorus of sighs of relief that the grant can now continue for another 10 years.

Probably because they meant 2X10^7 Pa S.
As in 20,000,000, not 214.

Paint dries a lot faster. The technology used to record the drop wasn’t invented when this experiment started .
