$A$ ray of light is incident normally on one face of a $30^{\circ}-60^{\circ}-90^{\circ}$ prism of refractive index $5/3$ immersed in water of refractive index $4/3$ as shown in the figure.

$A$ deviation of $2^{\circ}$ is produced in the yellow ray when prisms of crown and flint glass are achromatically combined. Taking dispersive powers of crown and flint glass as $0.02$ and $0.03$ respectively and refractive indices for yellow light for these glasses as $1.5$ and $1.6$ respectively,the refracting angle for the crown glass prism will be $........\,^{\circ}$ (in degrees) (Round off to the nearest integer).

Define the angle of minimum deviation.
