$A$ 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 shadow of a tower standing on a level ground is found to be $60 \ m$ longer when the Sun's altitude is $30^{\circ}$ than when it is $45^{\circ}$. The height of the tower is

$A$ flag is standing vertically on a tower of height $1 \ m$. At a point at a distance $2 \ m$ from the foot of the tower,the flag and the tower subtend equal angles. The height of the flag is (in meters):

$A$ man is observing,from the top of a tower,a boat speeding towards the tower from a certain point $A$,with uniform speed. At that point,the angle of depression of the boat from the man's eye is $30^{\circ}$ (ignore the man's height). After sailing for $20 \text{ seconds}$ towards the base of the tower (which is at the level of water),the boat reaches a point $B$,where the angle of depression is $45^{\circ}$. Then,the time taken (in seconds) by the boat from $B$ to reach the base of the tower is:

$A$ man whose eye level is $1.5 \ m$ above the ground observes the angle of elevation of a tower to be $60^\circ$. If the distance of the man from the tower is $10 \ m$,the height of the tower is:
