Magnetic object and Magnet!

Cluelessness

This may be a dumb question but I am so lost and would appreciate any help!

Is there a way to quantify the attractive force between a metallic object and a magnet?

With numbers not qualitatively? I was under the impression that with a metallic object everything was microscopic so itd be impractical..

but is there a way? formula or equipment?

Please help me and thank you so much in advance

It is possible, but in general it is tricky to do.
I don't think that "metallic object" is what you are looking for - if it is not ferromagnetic, the force is usually negligible. Many metallic objects in daily life are made out of iron, which is ferromagnetic, but most metals are not.
