Magnus effect
how a cricket spinner spin the ball??
Players of TENNIS and CRICKET often feels that, when a ball is thrown then it does not follow a straight line but it follows a curved path, WHY???
i'll explain it,why a cricket ball follows a curved path.
when a ball is thrown then an effect works behind it called MAGNUS EFFECT
i'll explain it by a figure so that i can make it easier
The movement of ball on curved path is called SWING.
- When a, thrown ball moves ahead,then empty space left behind the ball is filled by the air rapidly.
- Let the air velocity is "v" (air going to fill the empty)
- If the ball is spining with velocity "u" then the air around the ball is also moving with velocity "u"
- Then as shown in the figure, the velocity of lower side of the ball is "u+v" and of upper side is "u-v"
- It results that, pressure on upper side of the ball is greater than the lower side(BERNOULLI'S THEOREM)
- Due to this pressure difference the ball moves in a curved path.
- This is called MAGNUS EFFECT.
- Bowllers use this trick behind swing the ball, spin the ball.
- famous bowler Zaheer Khan,Murlitharan,Shane warn are known for there bowlling all over the world.
