The time is =1.53s

Explanation:

Resolving in the vertical direction +

The initial velocity is u0=15sin(16π)ms1

The time to reach the greatest height is =ts

Applying the equation of motion

v=u+at=ugt

The time is t=vug=015sin(16π)9.8=0.765s

The time taken to land is twice the time to reach the greatest height

T=2t=20.765=1.53s

1.531s

Explanation:

Here you actually asked about the wandering period of the projectile.

The initial velocity,v0=15ms1

**The throwing angle of the projectile,θ=π6=30 **
Suppose,
The wandering period of the projectile, T=?

we know that,
T=2v0sinθg=2×15ms1×sin309.8ms2=1.531s(Ans.)
