To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the situation involving the magnetic needle, the angles given, and the relationships between the different components of the magnetic field. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information We have a magnetic needle that is free to rotate in a fixed vertical plane. It makes an angle of \(60^\circ\) with the horizontal. The dip (angle of inclination) in that plane is \(37^\circ\). ### Step 2: Define the Components of the Magnetic Field Let: - \(B_H\) = Horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field ...
