Properties
In order to evaluate the physics of pool, first the measurable values of the system must be collected.

| Cue ball mass | m1 | 1.6x10-1 kg |
| Cue ball radius | r1 | 2.79x10-2m |
| Ball mass | m2-m16 | 1.7x10-1 kg |
| Ball radii | r2-r16 | 2.86x10-2 m |
| Coefficient of friction | µk | 0.027 |
The above data was from http://www.ajur.uni.edu/v1no4/Leerberg-Roth.pdf
Knowing these values the Motion, Work, and Energy can all be derived.
