take the vertical componenet of velocity vsin∂ and distance as v2sin2∂ /4g and apply the 2nd equation of motion

obviously!

one while going up and another while going down!

\frac{v^2 sin^2\alpha }{4g}= vsin\alpha .t + \frac{1}{2} gt^2

solve dis for t

@जय: Don't u think that in that equation u have used erronous sign convention?

cos i thnk

initially te vel component is vsin@ in upward direction whilst the accn is g in downward direction

and so if H and Vsin@ are entertained wid a + sign, g must be made to be devoid of that privilege :P

you would have been better off using a graph of velocity time graph..

1/2 (at) . t = 2 . 1/2 (t-x)a(t-x)
so t/(t-x) = √2

x=(1-1/√2)t
