1.THE ATOMIC HOOK

Recently an Ice berg weighing around  {9}\times{10}^{15} kgs broke off in the Weddell ice sea area in the Antarctic circle .Consider the following idea of an invention : A device consisting of two blocks – from one a proton can be extracted whose attractive force is directed towards an electron of the second block . Suppose the device is to be used as a hook  – that’s placing one block on the main ice and the second on the ice section which shows signs of breaking . What are your ideas regarding the following – [ neglect all other possible physical  forces / effects  ]

a } Would the device work as a hook preventing the breaking off of the above mentioned ice section ? If yes ,how many such devices would be needed  ?

b ]  What should be the effective weight of the blocks ?

c ] What is the effective distance needed between the blocks for such a device to work ?

d ] There is a very serious problem with the above idea .Can you point out what it is?
