The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point $A$ due north of it is $\alpha$ and from a point $B$ at a distance of $9$ units due west of $A$ is $\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}\right)$. If the distance of the point $B$ from the tower is $15$ units,then $\cot \alpha$ is equal to.

Two pillars of equal height stand on either side of a roadway which is $60 \, m$ wide. At a point in the roadway between the pillars,the angles of elevation of the top of the pillars are $60^\circ$ and $30^\circ$. The height of the pillars is

$A$ man is walking towards a vertical pillar in a straight path,at a uniform speed. At a certain point $A$ on the path,he observes that the angle of elevation of the top of the pillar is $30^o$. After walking for $10 \text{ minutes}$ from $A$ in the same direction,at a point $B$,he observes that the angle of elevation of the top of the pillar is $60^o$. Then the time taken (in minutes) by him,from $B$ to reach the pillar,is:
