At some location on Earth,the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field is $18 \times 10^{-6} \ T$. At this location,a magnetic needle of length $0.12 \ m$ and pole strength $1.8 \ A \ m$ is suspended from its mid-point using a thread. It makes a $45^{\circ}$ angle with the horizontal in equilibrium. To keep this needle horizontal,the vertical force that should be applied at one of its ends is:

At the place where the angle of dip is $60^{\circ}$,what is the relation between the vertical component $Z_{E}$ and the horizontal component $H_{E}$ of the Earth's magnetic field?
