Determination of skin friction on a rotating sphere in magnetic levitation
A simple and inexpensive experimental procedure is proposed to investigate the skin friction caused by air in a rotating sphere. A device using a magnetic field keeps the sphere levitating. The sphere is briefly boosted and begins to rotate, but the air resistance acts in opposition to the motion an...
