Hi Kevin,
I don't know the english title but I think you are talking about
Fröken Smillas känsla för snö Or something like that. A free
translation would be
Miss Smillas feeling for snow.
It's a book by Peter Høeg that have been filmed.
OK, found it at IMDB. http://imdb.com/title/tt0120152/
That's a good one, I live 450 km from the spot and even I can't
pronounce it, I even miss the spelling a lot of the times.

locals and snap a picture of the road sign.

The question was :
Two same shape spheres (1kg and 10kg) dropped from 100m.

It's the same shape
Short answer if the data is correct on weight and diameter : No!
Slightly longer answer :
No, it's too light. The density of the sphere is only 4.2 kg/dm3.
If it was Iron and nickel it should have a density of 7.8 kg/dm3.
To me it looks like a sphere of pyrrhotite or nickel ore, hard to
