A straight highway leads to the foot of a tower. A man standing at the top of the tower observes a car at an angle of depression of `30^@`, which is approaching the foot of the tower with a uniform speed. After covering a distance of 50 m, the angle of derpession of the car becomes `60^@`.find the height of the tower.`(Use sqrt 3 = 1.73)`.
