A straight highway leads to the foot of a tower. Ramaiah standing at the top of the tower observe a car at an angle of depression `30^(@)`. The car is approaching the foot of the tower with a uniform speed. Six seconds later, the angle of depression of the car is found to be `60^(@)`. Find the time taken by the car to reach the foot of the tower from this point.
