What is the Magnus effect?

(N/A) The Magnus effect is the phenomenon where a spinning object moving through a fluid (like air) experiences a transverse force perpendicular to its direction of motion.
As the object spins,it drags the surrounding fluid along with it due to viscosity.
On one side of the object,the fluid velocity increases (due to the spin direction aligning with the flow),leading to a decrease in pressure according to Bernoulli's principle.
On the opposite side,the fluid velocity decreases,leading to an increase in pressure.
This pressure difference results in a net force that causes the trajectory of the spinning object to curve.
