A magnetic needle is suspended freely so that it can rotate freely in the magnetic meridian. In order to keep it in the horizontal position, a weight of 0.2 g is kept on one end of the needle. If the pole strength of this needle is 20 Am, find the value of the vertical component of the earth s magnetic field, `(g = 9.8 m//s^-2)`
