Calculate the angle of minimum deviation for an equilateral triangular prism of refractive index $\sqrt{3}$. (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ monochromatic beam of light is incident at $60^{\circ}$ on one face of an equilateral prism of refractive index $n$ and emerges from the opposite face making an angle $\theta(n)$ with the normal (see the figure). For $n=\sqrt{3}$ the value of $\theta$ is $60^{\circ}$ and $\frac{d \theta}{d n}=m$. The value of $m$ is
