This magneto-mechanical system lends itself to further investigations with simple minor
modifications, for instance by boring an orifice in the plate one can allowthe magnet to oscillate
up-and-down through the plate (this work is now completed and will be published elsewhere).
Finally, the magneto-mechanical system presented here is an excellent experiment for senior
undergraduate physics and engineering laboratories, as well as for classroom demonstrations.
The level of readership is therefore from undergraduate to graduate students, as well as for
any university teaching physicist.
