$A$ magnetic needle free to rotate in a vertical plane parallel to the magnetic meridian has its north tip pointing down at $22^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field at the place is known to be $0.35 \; G$. Determine the magnitude of the earth's magnetic field (in $G$) at the place.

  • A
    $0.38$
  • B
    $0.74$
  • C
    $1.26$
  • D
    $1.52$
