I Calculating S Using Fm in a Magnus Force Equation

AI Thread Summary
To find the value of S in the equation Fm = S (w × v), S can be rearranged to S = Fm / (w × v). The Magnus force vector (Fm) is influenced by the angular velocity vector (w) and the velocity of the fluid or object (v). Understanding the relationship between these variables is crucial for calculating the air resistance coefficient (S). The discussion also touches on the Magnus effect, suggesting it may relate to inertia. Mastering this equation is essential for analyzing forces in fluid dynamics.

what is s in this equation and how what equation do I need to figure out what S is
Fm = S (w × v)

Where:
Fm =the Magnus force vector

w= angular velocity vector of the object

v=Velocity of the fluid (or velocity of object, depends on perspective)

S= air resistance coefficient across the surface of the object

learn to rearrange the subject of the equation to S.
The magnus effect might be because of inertia.
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
