Homework Statement
I just have a question about finding the force between a solenoid and a magnet at different distances. I have tried using a combination of B=μnI and F=BIL, however the answers I am getting are extremely off from the values that I have measured. Is this equation wrong and if so is there one that achieves what I want?
Relevant Equations
$$B=\mu nI $$
$$F=\frac{BIL}{2 \pi r}$$
$$F=\frac{μn I^{2} L}{ 2 \pi r}$$
$$\mu = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}$$
$$n = \frac{180}{0.135} = 1333.33$$
$$I = 1.85$$
$$L = 22.619$$
$$r = 0.014$$

$$F= \frac{\mu \times 1333.33 \times 1.85^{2} \times 22.619}{2 \pi \times 0.014}$$

Please describe the set up in detail and provide units with the numbers.
 
Where did you get the second equation? What force is described by it?
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
