A magnet of weight is placed on a non-magnetic horizontal table of weight .Another magnet of identical geometry is kept on the underside of the table top and aligned exactly with the upper magnet but with opposite polarity.The magnetic force on the lower magnet due to the upper one is thrice the weight of the lower magnet. If this magnetic force is ,then
