Returns the second angle associated with a Body 313 rotation sequence from one coordinate system object to another. This second rotation is referred to as the theta, , angle, and is used in association with the psi, , (1st rotation) and phi, , (3rd rotation) angles.
Positive angular displacement is determined by the right-hand rule.
