    What material can block a magnet's pull between two magnets?

    Many of you have done this in your past. Two magnets, one under a table, another on top of the table, and moving the one under will cause the one on top to move. Is there a material that, given the same thickness, will block this magnetic pull/repelling between the two magnets? Thanks.

    Can you make an object have a stronger graviational pull if you make is denser?

    If I have 2 objects with equivalent mass. Is there anyway I can make one of them have a stronger pull by changing the density? If so are there any equations the help me predict to what extent? Thanks.
