Please help - magnus force and drag force equations

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the equations for Magnus force and drag force, specifically seeking the Magnus force equation that includes a coefficient similar to the drag force equation, Fd = 1/2 * density * v² * A * Cd. The user is tasked with analyzing the effects of both forces acting on a ball. The Magnus force is crucial for understanding the behavior of spinning objects in fluid dynamics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid dynamics principles
  • Familiarity with the drag force equation
  • Knowledge of coefficients such as Cd (drag coefficient)
  • Basic physics of forces acting on objects
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Magnus effect and its mathematical representation
  • Study the derivation of the Magnus force equation
  • Explore the relationship between spin rate and Magnus force
  • Learn about the application of these forces in sports physics
USEFUL FOR

Students, physicists, and engineers interested in fluid dynamics, particularly those studying the effects of forces on spinning objects like balls in sports or aerodynamics.

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
