Answer

$29mH$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required inductance as follows: $Z=\frac{R}{cos\phi}$ $Z=\frac{2.7}{cos76^{\circ}}=11.6\Omega$ We know that $Z=\sqrt{R^2_+(\omega L)^2}$ This simplifies to: $L=\frac{\sqrt{Z^2-R^2}}{\omega}$ $\implies L=\sqrt{\frac{(11.16)^2-(2.7)^2}{2\pi (60.0)}}$ $L=29mH$
