Magnetic dip or magnetic inclination is given by
`tan theta=(V)/(H)` …..(1)
where, V and H are verttical and horizontal compnents of earth's magnetic field, repectively .
Given,`H=(1)/(sqrt3)V Rightarrow (V)/(H)=sqrt3 ..........(ii)`
From eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
`tan theta =sqrt3 Rightarrow theta-60^(@)`
