In a counter-clockwise rotating rock, the "sideways" motion at the
front is to the left (dashed arrow), and the sideways friction on
the front is to the right (solid arrow). The sideways motion at the
back is to the right, and the friction is to the left. Because the
friction at the back is greater than at the front, the rock curls
to the left
