$A$ 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?
