In a popular lecture demonstration, a cylindrical permanent magnet is dropped down a long aluminum tube as shown above. Neglecting friction of the magnet against the inner walls of the tube assuming that the tube is very long compared to the size of the magnet, will the magnet accelerate downward with an acceleration equal to a free fall? If not, describe the eventual motion of the magnet. Does it matter if the north pole or south pole of the magnet is on lower side?
