I am currently installing some sail shades in my back yard. The manufacturer is callin for 6" tube steel supports but I believe that 4" tube steel filled and compacted with concrete will provide more strength and resistance to buckling. Obviously I am concerned about price but want to do a great...
I am working on an engineering project in which I am mounting an electromagnet onto a small RC robot. The link for the electromagnet is here http://www.mpimagnet.com/catalog.asp?prodid=670540&showprevnext=1

I have completed the force column in the table however I am not sure what the question is asking me for the field strength calculation. am i to use the 25μC charge or the 8μC charge in the formula 1/4∏ε x Q/r^2, this may be obvious to someone with more experience of these questions,
Thanks
