Question

M and $$M3$$ are the magnetic dipole moments of the two magnets, which are joined to form a cross as shown in figure. The inclination of the system with the field, if their combination is suspended freely in a uniform external magnetic field B is M and  are the magnetic dipole moments of the two magnets, which are joined to form a cross figure. The inclination of the system with the field, if their combination is suspended freely in a uniform external magnetic field B is
