An engineering company approaches you and asks you to model the mechanical stresses on a magnet that is being used in an electronic storage device. The company wants you to calculate the stresses over a grid of small boxes covering the magnet's surface, where each box has dimensions 3 µm by 3 µm. Assume that the magnet is never in motion. Can the continuum approximation be accurately applied to this problem? Why or why not?
