electromagnet problem, need help please!

Q1, I need to calculate the value of B required to lift a plate.
Q2, Estimate the mmf F required to lift the same plate.
I understand P = B squared x A. divided by 2 x permeability of free space.
This is what I have to work with:
The plate to be lifted weighs, 10`000 Newtons
Relative permeability of plate, 1000
Thickness of plate, 5 cm.
c.s.a. of magnet, 22 x 22 cm.
radius (mean) of magnet, 0.5m ( shown as red circle)
angle in degrees, 120.
I am assuming you have to first calculate the distance between the 2 poles. Using the cosine rule I make it: 0.75metres.
Now I need help with the rest please.
I don’t just want the answer I want to understand the formula properly.
Many thanks.
