✦ Synopsis


The paramagnetic fluid composed of manganese chloride tetrahydrate dissolved in water was used to form bridges held between two parallel collinear rods. Magnetic levitation was used to control the effective gravity felt by the bridges. Their stability was studied as a function of Bond number and volume of the supported liquid. Data are compared with theoretical predictions for liquid bridges as well as with experimental results, where available.
