Answer

The ball makes 30 revolutions.

Work Step by Step

We can find the time it takes to reach maximum height: $t = \frac{v_{y0}}{g}$ $t = \frac{v_0~sin~\theta}{g}$ $t = \frac{(60~m/s)~sin~20^{\circ}}{9.8~m/s^2}$ $t = 2.094~s$ We can find the number of revolutions: $\theta = (90~rad/s)(2.094~s)$ $\theta = 188.46~rad$ $\theta = (188.46~rad)(\frac{1~rev}{2\pi~rad})$ $\theta = 30~rev$ The ball makes 30 revolutions.
