The angle of elevation of the top of an unfinished tower at a point distant $120 \ m$ from its base is $45^{\circ}$. If the elevation of the top at the same point is to be $60^{\circ}$,the tower must be raised to a height of:

$A$ man standing at a point $P$ (or $L$ in the diagram) is watching the top of a tower $N$,which makes an angle of elevation of $30^{\circ}$ with the man's eye. The man walks some distance towards the tower to point $Q$ to watch its top and the angle of elevation becomes $60^{\circ}$. What is the distance (in units) between the base of the tower $M$ and the point $P$ (or $L$)?

$A$ man on the top of a vertical observation tower observes a car moving at a uniform speed coming directly towards it. If it takes $12$ minutes for the angle of depression to change from $30^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ},$ how soon after this will the car reach the observation tower?
