UltrafastPED Science Advisor Gold Member Messages 1,910 Reaction score 216 May 16, 2014 #2 The force between two magnets depends upon the geometry of the magnets, and their relative positions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_between_magnets But if you can constrain their motion - put two bar magnets into a tube - you can use a simple force scale to measure the push/pull. For really close work you would use a piezo crystal, but an ordinary spring scale will work. For example: Pull spring scales: http://www.globalindustrial.com/g/packaging/scales/Dial/spring-scales-99102 Or a load cell: http://www.futek.com/product.aspx?t=load Or you can just hang some weights ... and see how much it takes to break the magnetic grip. Slip something between the magnets to control the spacing.
