Will a magnet with a pull force of 10 kg be able to lift a 10 kg object?
Not necessarily. The pull force test is a laboratory test under ideal laboratory conditions. It is the breakaway force required to separate a particular magnet from a flat 1018 steel plate.
When an object is lifted with a magnet, many factors can affect the magnet's ability to lift a certain weight. These factors include: surface finish of magnet & object, flatness of magnet & object, coating on either surface & acceleration of the lifting motion.
