At a certain location in Africa, a compass points $12^o$ West of the geographic North. The North tip of the magnetic needle of a dip circle placed in the plane of magnetic meridian points $60^o$ 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
