$A$ bar magnet of magnetic moment $M$ is placed at a distance $D$ with its axis along the positive $X$-axis. Likewise,a second bar magnet of magnetic moment $M$ is placed at a distance $2D$ on the positive $Y$-axis and perpendicular to it as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the magnetic field at the origin is $|\vec{B}| = \alpha \left[ \frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi} \frac{M}{D^3} \right]$. The value of $\alpha$ must be (Assume $D \gg l$,where $l$ is the length of the magnets).
