Suppose I had an empty box which was 1 cubic foot. Now suppose the entire top 
side of the box (one square foot) was a magnet with it's positive side facing 
the interior of the box, and the bottom of the box was also a magnet with it's 
positive side facing the interior of the box. If I were to place a 1 square 
foot plate of metal between them, would it stay suspended in the center of the 
box?

Thanks
