$A$ magnetic needle is free to rotate in a vertical plane which makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the magnetic meridian. If the needle stays in a direction making an angle of $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$ with the horizontal,the true dip value at that place is: (in $^{\circ}$)

The earth's magnetic field lines resemble that of a dipole at the centre of the earth. If the magnetic moment of this dipole is close to $8 \times 10^{22} \text{ Am}^2$,the value of earth's magnetic field near the equator is close to $.... \text{ Gauss}$ (radius of the earth $= 6.4 \times 10^6 \text{ m}$)
