Answer

$8.6^{\circ}$; the mass of the dice drops out of the equations.

Work Step by Step

We know that $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{F_x}{F_y})$ $\implies \theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{\frac{mv^2}{r}}{mg})$ $\implies \theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v^2}{gr})$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{(27mi/h\times 0.447\frac{m/s}{mi/h})^2}{(9.81)(98)})$ $\theta=tan^{-1}(0.1515)$ $\theta=8.6^{\circ}$ We can see that the mass of the dice is cancelled out. Hence, it is unnecessary to give the mass of the dice.
