First, let's make a sketch.

Let θ be the angle of elevation the string makes with the ground.

From the above sketch;

opposite = 120 and hypotenuse = 650

Using the trigonometric ratio;


\sin \theta=(opposite)/(hypotenuse)


\sin \theta=(120)/(650)
\sin \theta=0.184615

Take the arc sin of both-side.


\theta=\sin ^(-1)(0.184615)
undefined
