Please help - magnus force and drag force equations

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the need for equations related to Magnus force and drag force. The user has identified the drag force equation as Fd=1/2 * density * v² * A * Cd but is struggling to find the Magnus force equation. They specifically seek an equation for Magnus force that includes a coefficient similar to Cd in the drag force equation. The inquiry is related to a task involving a ball affected by both drag and Magnus forces. Assistance in locating the Magnus force equation is requested.

Hello everyone, i have a question, please help me with equations for magnus force and drag force...i have found an equations for drag force it's, Fd=1/2 * density * v2 * A * Cd .

but i can't find equation for magnus force...can anyone tell where i can find it, or if somebody know, let me know :) i am seeking for an equation of magnus force that have coefficient also (like Cd in drag force equation)...

thanks !

i need that for a task with ball on which drag and magnus force are acting

anybody? :(
 
The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
