2. A small ball \(B\), moving on a smooth horizontal plane, collides with a fixed smooth vertical wall. Immediately before the collision the angle between the direction of motion of \(B\) and the wall is \(\alpha\). The coefficient of restitution between \(B\) and the wall is \(\frac { 3 } { 4 }\). The kinetic energy of \(B\) immediately after the collision is \(60 \%\) of its kinetic energy immediately before the collision.
Find, in degrees, the size of angle \(\alpha\).
