$A$ man is watching from the top of a tower a boat speeding away from the tower. The boat makes an angle of depression of $45^{\circ}$ with the man's eye when at a distance of $60 \ m$ from the tower. After $5 \ s$,the angle of depression becomes $30^{\circ}$. What is the approximate speed (in $km/hr$) of the boat,assuming that it is running in still water?

$A$ man standing at a point $P$ (or $L$ in the diagram) is watching the top of a tower $N$,which makes an angle of elevation of $30^{\circ}$ with the man's eye. The man walks some distance towards the tower to point $Q$ to watch its top and the angle of elevation becomes $60^{\circ}$. What is the distance (in units) between the base of the tower $M$ and the point $P$ (or $L$)?
