Text: "Concerning S. Singh and N. Sharma: 'Comment on ""Paradox in the classical treatment of the Stern-Gerlach experiment." About a paradoxical force transverse to the magnetic moment in the Stern-Gerlach experiment. To resolve it, one considers the torque on the magnetic moment producing a rapid precession about the field direction, causing the transverse force to average out. American Journal of Physics. 52(4), Mar. 1984. p. 275-276.
