Details A floating ball in water flow remains confined under a certain condition. This
property is based on Bernoulli's principle in fluid mechanics. The phenomenon
should be explained clearly using classical or Newtonian mechanics of point mass and
fluid with gravitational and electromagnetic interaction, since for we can neglect
relativity or quantum effects. In this article, we shall propose a mathematical model of
the phenomenon, and consider mechanism of stability for such a ball. The results of
consideration claims that a floating ball remains confined in water flow if there is
friction on the surface of the ball and the amount of water flow is appropriate.
