If a magnet is suspended freely such that it can rotate about its magnetic axis,in which plane does it come to rest?

At two different places, the angles of dip are respectively $30^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$. At these two places, the ratio of the horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field is:

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 a certain location in Africa,a compass points $12^{\circ}$ West of the geographic North. The North tip of the magnetic needle of a dip circle placed in the plane of magnetic meridian points $60^{\circ}$ above the horizontal. The horizontal component of the earth's field is measured to be $0.16\, G$. The magnitude of the earth's field at the location will be
