AI Thread Summary
Magnetic breakaway force is defined as the amount of force needed to separate two magnetically attracted objects, influenced by the magnets' strength, distance, and material composition. This concept is crucial in various industries, including magnetic closures for doors, fasteners in clothing, and machinery joints. Proper understanding of this force ensures that magnets are adequately strong for their intended use while allowing for easy separation when necessary. This knowledge is vital for the effective design and manufacturing of magnetic products. Overall, grasping magnetic breakaway force is essential for functionality and durability in applications involving magnets.

look hard there and you will find your answer.

I suggest that in the future you attempt to research this sort of stuff before you post a question about it.
 


Magnetic breakaway force refers to the amount of force required to separate two magnetically attracted objects. This force is dependent on the strength of the magnets, the distance between them, and the materials they are made of. The term is commonly used in industries where magnetic connections are used, such as in magnetic closures on doors or cabinets, magnetic fasteners in clothing or bags, and magnetic joints in machinery. Understanding the magnetic breakaway force is important in ensuring that the magnets are strong enough to keep the objects together, but not so strong that they are difficult to separate. It is also important in designing and manufacturing magnetic products to ensure their functionality and durability.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

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}...
