Answer

$-9.6^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

We know that $X_c=\frac{1}{\omega C}$ $\implies X_c=\frac{1}{2\pi(60)(1.5\mu F)}=1.77K\Omega$ $X_L=\omega L=2\pi(60.0)(250mH)=94.2\Omega$ Now $\phi=tan^{-1}\frac{X_L-X_c}{R}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\phi=tan^{-1}\frac{94.2-1770}{9900}=-9.6^{\circ}$
