25 N
30 N
35 N
40 N

The question is asked to find the load. Not distance!

p= (64W* R^3)/(C*d^4).
We find out W, load for 1 clearance, between 2 coils.
Between 2 coil, 1 clearance, load= 5N.
Between 8 coil, 7 clearance, load= 5x7=35N.

It contains 8 coils, and 1 coil contains 7 clearances there total clearance =56=56mm.

For 1 clearance p = 5, 8 coil = 7 clearance,
So, p total = 35.

@Ashish.

By using this formula, I got an answer as 5N. Am I right?

The formula is : (64 * p * (r^3) * n)/Nd4.

Can anyone solve this question with explanation?

8 = [64*P*(40^3)*8]/(80000*(4^4)).
