Answer

${\bf 0.283}\;\rm A\cdot m^2$

Work Step by Step

We know that the magnetic torque on a magnetic dipole is given by $$\vec \tau=\vec\mu\times \vec B=\mu B\sin\theta$$ So, the magnitude of the magnetic dipole moment is $$\mu=\dfrac{\tau}{B\sin\theta}$$ Plug the given; $$\mu=\dfrac{(0.02)}{(0.1)\sin45^\circ} $$ $$\mu=\color{red}{\bf 0.283}\;\rm A\cdot m^2$$
