Suppose that the dipole moment associated with an iron atom of an iron bar is 2.8 × 10 23 J/T. The bar is 5.2 cm long and has a cross-sectional area of 1.5 cm². Two-thirds of the atoms have their dipole moment in one directions and remaining one-third have their dipole moment in the opposite direction. What torque (in N*m) must be exerted to hold this magnet perpendicular to an external field of 1.2 T? (The density of iron is 7.9 g/cm3 and its molar mass is 55.9 g/mol. Avogadro's number is 6.022*1023 atoms/mol.)
