When a rotating cylinder was placed inside the unifo rm flow stream of any fluid, it created a force on the cylinder, called the Magnus force, perpendicular tohe flow of the fluid. This force is directly relat ed to the surface roughness of the material of the cylinder and the a ngular velocity of the cylinder’s rotation. In this research paper, I investigated this relation between the Magnus force produced, for different angular velocities and how i t varies across the different values of the surface roughness appli ed to the cylinder
