Answer

$$\dot{\psi}=2.35 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{h} $$

Work Step by Step

$$ I=1600(1.8)^2, \quad I_z=1600(1.2)^2 $$ $$ \begin{aligned} & \tan \theta=\left(\frac{I}{I_z}\right) \tan \beta \\ & \tan 20^{\circ}=\left(\frac{1600(1.8)^2}{1600(1.2)^2}\right) \tan \beta \\ & \beta=9.189^{\circ} \end{aligned} $$ Using the law of sines: $$ \begin{aligned} & \frac{\sin 9.189^{\circ}}{2}=\frac{\sin \left(20^{\circ}-9.189^{\circ}\right)}{\dot{\psi}} \\ & \dot{\psi}=2.35 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{h} \end{aligned} $$
