Answer

$B=\frac{\mu_0 \mu}{4 \pi r^3} \sqrt{1+3 \sin ^2 \lambda_m} \text {}$

Work Step by Step

Substituting the expression given in the problem statement, we have $ \begin{aligned} B & =\sqrt{B_h^2+B_v^2}=\sqrt{\left(\frac{\mu_0 \mu}{4 \pi r^3} \cos \lambda_m\right)^2+\left(\frac{\mu_0 \mu}{2 \pi r^3} \sin \lambda_m\right)^2}=\frac{\mu_0 \mu}{4 \pi r^3} \sqrt{\cos ^2 \lambda_m+4 \sin ^2 \lambda_m} \\ & =\frac{\mu_0 \mu}{4 \pi r^3} \sqrt{1+3 \sin ^2 \lambda_m}, \end{aligned} $ where $\cos ^2 \lambda_m+\sin ^2 \lambda_m=1$ was used.
