We can find the force on the magnetic dipole by using the equation: F = ∇(m . B)
where F is the force, m is the magnetic dipole moment, and B is the magnetic field.
Substituting the given values, we get:
\(F= \nabla (10 \hat{i} + 10 \hat{j} +10\hat{k}.0.6\hat{i}+0.4\hat{j}+0.5\hat{k})\)
\(F= \nabla (6 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} +5\hat{k}+6\hat{j}+4\hat{i}+5\hat{k}+6\hat{k}+5\hat{j}+4\hat{i})\)
\(F= \nabla (10 \hat{i} + 10 \hat{j} +10\hat{k})\)
\(F= 10\nabla ( \hat{i} + \hat{j} +\hat{k})\)
As the magnetic field is not given as a function of position, we can assume that it is uniform over the region where the magnetic dipole is placed. Hence, the gradient of the magnetic field is zero, and the force on the magnetic dipole is zero. Therefore, the force acting on the dipole is zero.
