A straight highway leads to the foot of a tower. A man standing on its top observes a car at an angle of depression of `30^@`, which is approaching the foot of the tower with a unifrom speed. 6 seconds later, the angle of depression of the car becomes `60^@`. Find the time taken by the car to reach the foot of the tower from this point.
