Let $10$ vertical poles standing at equal distances on a straight line,subtend the same angle of elevation $\alpha$ at a point $O$ on this line and all the poles are on the same side of $O$. If the height of the longest pole is $h$ and the distance of the foot of the smallest pole from $O$ is $a$,then the distance between two consecutive poles is:

$A$ tower subtends angles $\alpha, 2\alpha, 3\alpha$ respectively at points $A, B$ and $C$,all lying on a horizontal line through the foot of the tower. Then $AB/BC = $

$A$ person is standing on a tower of height $15(\sqrt{3} + 1) \ m$ and observing a car coming towards the tower. He observes that the angle of depression changes from $30^\circ$ to $45^\circ$ in $3 \ s$. What is the speed of the car in $km/hr$?

$A$ vertical pole subtends an angle $\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$ at a point $P$ on the ground. If the angles subtended by the upper half and the lower half of the pole at $P$ are respectively $\alpha$ and $\beta$, then $(\tan \alpha, \tan \beta)$ is equal to

The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point $A$ due north of it is $\alpha$ and from a point $B$ at a distance of $9$ units due west of $A$ is $\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}\right)$. If the distance of the point $B$ from the tower is $15$ units,then $\cot \alpha$ is equal to.
