Discuss the magnus effect.
Answers
Answer:
Magnus effect, generation of a sidewise force on a spinning cylindrical or spherical solid immersed in a fluid (liquid or gas) when there is relative motion between the spinning body and the fluid. Named after the German physicist and chemist H.G. Magnus, who first (1853) experimentally investigated the effect, it is responsible for the “curve” of a served tennis ball or a driven golf ball and affects the trajectory of a spinning artillery shell.
Answer:
Explanation:
Named after Scientist H G Magnus.
Magnus effect:
The dynamic lift of the body by virtue of it's spinning is called as Magnus Effect.
E.g.:
★Ball moving without spin
★BALL moving with spin
★Lift of Aerofoil
LIFT OF AEROFOIL:
The structure of aerofoil is responsible for it's lift as it moves horizontal the streamlines become dense upward than the downword part making pressure higher on upper side than lower side causing aerofoil to lift.
