The time is #=2.96s#

Resolving in the vertical direction #uarr^+#

initial velocity is #u=vsintheta=15*sin(5/12pi)#

distance travelled #=0#

We apply the equation of motion

#s=ut+1/2at^2#

#0=15sin(5/12pi)*t-1/2*g*t^2#

Therefore,

#t=0# which is the initial condition and

#t=2*15/g*sin(5/12pi)#

#=2.96s#
