An aircraft is flying horizontally at a constant height of 3 km3\,\text{km} with a speed of 600 km/h600\,\text{km/h}. It passes directly over an observer on the ground. Find the rate of change of the angle of elevation of the aircraft as seen by the observer when the aircraft is 3 km3\,\text{km} horizontally away from the observer.
