Information
The Magnus force is dependent on the geometry and size of the object, the density of the air, the spin factor, the velocity of the object, and the so-called Reynold's number. The calculation of the actual force is quite straightforward and can be seen in the text view of this component (press Ctrl+3). Look at the variable F_M to see the final force equation.
The equations are taken from the book Physics for Game Programmers, written by Grant Palmer.
