Abstract: The Rosensweig instability induced by magnetic forces of the flat free surface of the layer of a stationary nonlinearly magnetizable ferrofluid is considered. The fluid covers a horizontal plate of a nonmagnetic material, located in a tilted magnetic field. The critical value of the vertical component of the magnetization vector is calculated in the linear formulation for a deep magnetic fluid for any physically admissible magnetization law. The influence of the horizontal component of the applied magnetic field on the onset of instability upon the modified Langevin magnetization is analyzed.
