Two bar magnets with magnetic moments $2M$ and $M$ are fastened together at right angles to each other at their centres to form a crossed system,which can rotate freely about a vertical axis through the centre. The crossed system sets in the Earth's magnetic field with the magnet having magnetic moment $2M$ making an angle $\theta$ with the magnetic meridian such that:
