A person standing on the ground observes the angle of elevation of the top of a tower to be `30^@` On walking a distance a in a certain direction, he finds the elevation of the top to be same as before. He then walks a distance `5/3 a` at right angles to his former direction, and finds that the elevation of the top has doubled. The height of the tower is
