Two mutually perpendicular lines are drawn on a table. Two small magnets, whose magnetic moments are 0.108 and 0.192 J T-1, are placed on these lines. If the distance of the point of intersection of these lines be respectively 30 and 40cm from these magnets, then find the resultant magnetic field at the point of intersection.
