The Magnus force coefficient was determined from comparison of theoretical and experimental trajectory of rotating spherical particle falling in calm water. Theoretical trajectories of the particle were calculated using the 2D numerical model of the rotating spherical particle moving in fluid and the proper value of the Magnus force coefficient was established from condition of the best fitting of the experimental trajectory by the calculated one. The mutual influence of the translational and rotational movements was described.
