$A$ tower subtends an angle $\alpha$ at a point $A$ in the plane of its base,and the angle of depression of the foot of the tower from a point $P$ at a height $l$ meters vertically above $A$ is $\beta$. The height of the tower is

If the angles of elevation of the top of a tower from three collinear points $A, B$ and $C$ on a line leading to the foot of the tower are $30^o, 45^o$ and $60^o$ respectively,then the ratio $AB : BC$ is:

The shadow of a tower of height $(1 + \sqrt{3}) \text{ m}$ standing on the ground is found to be $2 \text{ m}$ longer when the sun's elevation is $30^{\circ}$ than when the sun's elevation was $...^{\circ}$.

Let a vertical tower $AB$ of height $2h$ stand on a horizontal ground. From a point $P$ on the ground,a man can see up to height $h$ of the tower with an angle of elevation $2\alpha$. When he moves a distance $d$ from $P$ in the direction of $\overline{AP}$,he can see the top $B$ of the tower with an angle of elevation $\alpha$. If $d=\sqrt{7}h$,then $\tan \alpha$ is equal to:

$AB$ is a vertical pole with $B$ at the ground level and $A$ at the top. $A$ man finds that the angle of elevation of the point $A$ from a certain point $C$ on the ground is $60^{\circ}$. He moves away from the pole along the line $BC$ to a point $D$ such that $CD = 7 \ m$. From $D$,the angle of elevation of the point $A$ is $45^{\circ}$. Then the height of the pole is
