A man on a cliff observes a boat, at an angle of depression 30∘, which is sailing towards the shore to the point immediately beneath him. Three minutes later, the angle of depression of the boat is found to be 60∘. Assuming that the boat sails at a uniform speed, determine : (i) how much more time it will take to reach the shore ? (ii) the speed of the boat in metre per second, if the height of the cliff is 500 m.
