Question
A bar magnet takes $\frac{\pi}{10}$ second to complete one oscillation in an oscillation magnetometer. The moment of inertia of the magnet about the axis of rotation is $1.2 \times 10^{-4} kg-m^2$ and the earth's horizontal magnetic field is $30\mu \text{T}.$ Find the magnetic moment of the magnet.

Answer

We know: $\text{v}=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac}{\text{mB}_\text{H}}{\text{I}}$For like poles tied together
$M = M_1 - M_2$ 
For unlike poles $M' = M_1+ M_2$​​​​​​​
$\frac{\text{v}_1}{\text{v}_2}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{M}_1-\text{M}_2}{\text{M} _1-\text{M}_2}}\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{10}{2}\Big)^2$
$=\frac{\text{M}_1-\text{M}_2}{\text{M}_1+\text{M}_2}\Rightarrow25=\frac{\text{M}_1-\text{M}_2}{\text{M}_1+\text{M}_2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{26}{24}=\frac{2\text{M}_1}{2\text{M}_2}\Rightarrow\frac{\text{M}_1}{\text{M}_2}=\frac{13}{12}$
