$A$ person observes the top of a tower from a point $A$ on the ground. The angle of elevation of the tower from this point is $60^{\circ}$. He moves $60 \ m$ in the direction perpendicular to the line joining $A$ and the base of the tower to reach point $C$. The angle of elevation of the tower from point $C$ is $45^{\circ}$. Then, the height of the tower (in metres) is
