A security camera sits directly above a gate and must tilt down by θ(d)=arctan⁡ ⁣(50d)\theta(d)=\arctan\!\left(\dfrac{50}{d}\right) radians to track a person walking away, a horizontal distance dd meters from the base. The camera's motor stalls once the required tilt rate reaches exactly −1250-\dfrac{1}{250} rad/m. Find the distance dd at which this happens.
