In △ABC\triangle ABC, side a=7a=7 is increasing at 22 units/s, side b=5b=5 is decreasing at 11 unit/s, and the included angle C=60∘C=60^\circ is increasing at 0.10.1 rad/s. Using the Law of Cosines, c2=a2+b2−2abcos⁡Cc^2=a^2+b^2-2ab\cos C, find the rate of change of side cc at this moment, to three decimal places.
