Exercise machine arccos

In a gym there is an exercise machine that consists of an inclined plane (2 meters long) leaning against a wall (see the schematic of the machine in the figure). Initially, the base of the plane was placed at a distance $x = 1 \ m$ from the wall, and in this case, the plane is inclined at an angle of $\theta=\dfrac{\pi}{3} \ rad$ to the floor. The steepness is given by the function $$\theta (x)= \arccos \left( \dfrac{x}{2}\right).$$ Estimate, using the differential, what is the new steepness of the machine if the distance from the base of the plane to the wall is increased to $x = 1.05 \ m$.
