electromagnetism - How strong a magnetic field would be needed to deflect cosmic rays?



How strong a magnetic field would be needed to deflect cosmic rays?


For example, lets imagine we wanted to protect the occupants of the International Space Station from cosmic rays. I assume we would need to create some kind of electromagnetic shield (or electrostatic shield). How powerful would these need to be?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
