A magnetic rod with length 6.00 cm, radius 3.00 mm, and (uniform) magnetization 2.70 x 103 A/m

Question:

A magnetic rod with length 6.00 cm, radius 3.00 mm, and (uniform) magnetization 2.70 x 103 A/m can turn about its center like a compass needle. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field B of magnitude 35.0mT, such that the directions of its dipole moment and B make an angle of 68.0°. 

(a) What is the magnitude of the torque on the rod due to B?

(b) What is the change in the magnetic potential energy of the rod if the angle changes to 34.0°?
