To a person standing at the middle point of the horizontal straight line joining the feet of two vertical posts of the same height, the angle of elevation of the top of each post appears to be `30^@`. After walking 40metres towards one of them , the person observes that the angle of elevation of the top of the same post has changed to `60^@`. Find the distance between the two posts.
