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.
