A lift in a building of height 90 feet with transparent glass walls is descending from the top of the building. At the top of the building, the angle of depression to a fountain in the garden is `60^(@)`. Two minutes later, the angle of depression reduces to `30^(@)`. If the fountain is `30 sqrt3` feet from the entrance of the lift, find the speed of the lift which is descending.

A lift in a building of height 90 feet with transparent glass walls is descending from the top of the building. At the top of the building, the angles of depression to a fountain in the garden is 60^(@) . Two minutes later, the angle of depression reduces to 30^(@) . If the fountain is 30sqrt(3) feet from the entrace of the lift, find the speed of the lift, and the speed of the lift which is descending.
