In a uniform magnetic field of 0.049 T, a magnetic needle performs 20 complete oscillations in 5 seconds as shown. The moment of inertia of the needle is $9.8 \times 10^{-6}$ kg m$^2$. If the magnitude of magnetic moment of the needle is $x \times 10^{-5}$ Am$^2$, then the value of 'x' is;
$T = \frac{5}{20}$ s, $I = 9.8 \times 10^{-6}\ kg\,m^2$, $m = x \times 10^{-5}\ Am^2$, B = 0.049 T $T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{I}{mB}}$ $\frac{5}{20} = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{9.8 \times 10^{-6}}{x \times 10^{-5} \times 0.049}} = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{20}{x}}$ $\frac{25}{400} = 4\pi^2\left(\frac{20}{x}\right)$ $x = 16 \times 4\pi^2 \times 20 = 1280\pi^2$
