Answer

0.97 s

Work Step by Step

Please see the attached image first. By using trigonometry we can get, $tan18^{\circ}=\frac{V_{y}}{V_{x}}=\frac{V_{y}}{29\space m/s\times cos36^{\circ}}=>V_{y}=29\space m/s(0.81)(0.32)=7.52\space m/s$ Let's apply equation 3.3b $V=u+at$ in the vertical direction to find the flight time. $\uparrow V=u+at$ ; Let's plug known values into this equation. $7.52\space m/s=29\space m/s \times sin 36^{\circ}+(-9.8\space m/s^{2})t$ $t=0.97\space s$
