Magnus Force: K = 0.12, angle=Pi/4, with v0 = 30m/s, Tou = 2.5 sec
By Dr. Xing Min Wang
Notation:
- Red Cylinder: rotating with both magnus force and air resistance
- Green Ball: with air resistance only
- Blue Ball: free projectile motion
Parameters chosen:
- diameter of the cylinder D = 0.05 m
- length of the cylinder L = 0.4 m
- mass of the Cylinder M = 0.25 kg
- "half life" of rotation: Tou = 2.0 -3.0 sec
- initial speed v0 = 6.0 - 8.0 m/s
- liner air resistane coefficient C1 = .000155*Math.sqrt(D*L)/M;
- liner air resistane coefficient C1 = .000155*Math.sqrt(D*L)/M;
