$A$ bar magnet of magnetic moment $M$ and moment of inertia $I$ is freely suspended such that the magnetic axial line is in the direction of the magnetic meridian. If the magnet is displaced by a very small angle $\theta$, the angular acceleration is (Magnetic induction of earth's horizontal field $= B_H$)
