$A$ straight highway leads to the foot of a tower. $A$ man standing at the top of the tower observes a car at an angle of depression of $30^{\circ}$,which is approaching the foot of the tower with a uniform speed. Six seconds later,the angle of depression of the car is found to be $60^{\circ}$. Find the time taken by the car to reach the foot of the tower from this point (in $seconds$).

From the top of a tower,the angles of depression of points $A$ and $B$ in the same direction of the tower are found to be $\theta$ and $(90^\circ - \theta)$ respectively. If $B$ is nearer the tower than $A$ and $AB = a$,then prove that the height of the tower is $\frac{a \tan \theta}{1 - \tan^2 \theta}$.
