At a certain location in Africa, a compass points 12^{\circ} west of the geographic north. The north tip of the magnetic needle of a dip circle placed in the plane of magnetic meridian points above the horizontal. The horizontal component of the earth’s field is measured to be 0.16 \mathrm{G} . Specify the direction and magnitude of the earth’s field at the location.At a certain location in Africa, a compass points 12^{\circ} west of the geographic north.
