A vertical tower stands on a horizontal plane. Two observers, Alice and Bob, are stationed on the same side of the tower in a straight line with its base. From Alice's position, the angle of elevation to the top of the tower is 30∘30^{\circ}. From Bob's position, which is 40 m40\,\text{m} closer to the tower than Alice, the angle of elevation is 60∘60^{\circ}. Find the height of the tower.
