30°60

A straight path runs up a hillside that rises at a constant angle of 30∘30^\circ to the horizontal. A vertical tower stands on the path 6060 m from the foot of the hill, measured along the slope. From the foot of the hill, the angle of elevation of the top of the tower is 60∘60^\circ. Find the height of the tower, in metres.
