Suppose your instructor staggers into class after a week - long science lab equipment convention. She proceeds to explain Magnus lift in the following way. She has you consider a ball thrown to the left and spinning clockwise, having the wind velocity profile shown below. This is a "fastball" so it will rise, as correctly indicated. Please explain why the force F_m is inconsistent with the wind velocity profile.
