A magnetic needle oscillates in a horizontal plane with a period $T$ at a place where the angle of dip is $60^{\circ}$. When the same needle is made to oscillate in a vertical plane coinciding with the magnetic meridian, its period will be

A very small magnet is placed in the magnetic meridian with its south pole pointing north. The null point is obtained $20\, cm $ away from the centre of the magnet. If the earth's magnetic field (horizontal component) at this point be $0.3$ $gauss$, the magnetic moment of the magnet is
