Hi I'm designing a magnetic levitation model train just like this

The only difference may be to use disk magnets for tracks instead of strip type magnets (I'm considering both options at this stage before deciding finally).
The engineering part of design is easy, however, I want to know and have to submit the physics/math formulas used in this model train. I search the net but could not find the best fit. Can anybody help in this regard?

Is this a school project?

Then you need to show some work, instead of just saying you tried but failed to find into. What search terms did you use? What DID you find out?

I'm not clear on what you are saying, but just to make sure we're clear on what I'm saying, this is not a Q&A forum where you just ask a question and get an answer. We are more interested in showing people how to get the answer themselves. Just giving an answer is boring. SO ... any time something is, or even just looks like it might be, homework, we require the poster to show some effort before we give any help.

There may be a language translation issue here, but please re-read the PF Rules section on schoolwork (see INFO at the top of the page). You are required to show your best efforts when posting schoolwork problems or projects.

Thread is reopened for now so that the OP can show their work.
