Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query :

Let K be the position of the kite
 Let KL = 60 mLet P be the point on the ground where the string is temporarily tied
Now, PK = 403 mLet ∠KPL = θ = Inclination of the string with the groundNow, sin θ = KLPK⇒sin θ = 60403⇒sin θ = 32⇒sin θ = sin 60°⇒θ = 60°

Hope this would clear your doubt

Do let us know in case of any further concerns
