A rocket is rising vertically at a rate of 5400 miles per hour. An observer on the ground is standing 17 miles from the rocket's launch point. How fast (in revolution per minute) is the angle of elevation between the ground and the observer's line of sight of the rocket increasing when the rocket is at an elevation of 48 miles? Express your answer in 4 decimal places.
