Answer

$t=0.518~s$

Work Step by Step

The required time can be determined as follows: $\Sigma F_y=0$ $\implies P-2Tsin\theta=0$ $\implies P-(2\times 5000\times \frac{4}{5})=0$ $\implies P=8000lb$ $m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{5000}{32.2}=155.27Slugs$ Now we apply the impulse momentum principle in the vertical direction $mv_1+\Sigma \int_{t_1}^{t_2} F_y dt=mv_2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $155.27(0)+\int_0^t 8000dt-\int_0^t 5000 dt=155.27(10)$ This simplifies to: $t=0.518~s$
