An observer is standing 306306 horizontal meters from the point where a weather balloon was released. If the weather balloon is rising vertically at a rate of 5.4 meters/second, how fast is the angle of elevation changing when the angle is 0.98 radians. Round your answer to three decimal places and write out units using / to represent per.
