In the Stern-Gerlach experiment atoms with differently oriented magnetic moments are separated in passage through a non-homogeneous magnetic field produced by a wedge shaped magnet. Assume that the variation of the field is, dB dz = az. Determine (clasically) the transverse force on the atoms whose magnetic dipole moment makes an angle with the z-axis.
