The time to land is #=5.32s#

Resolving in the vertical direction and applying the equation of motion

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

The distance travelled is #s=0#

The initial velocity is #u=27sin(5/12pi)#

The acceleration due to gravity is #a=g=9.8ms^-2#

#27sin(5/12pi)*t-1/2*9.8*t^2=0#

#t=0# which is the initial conditions

#t=(27sin(5/12pi))/(4.9)=5.32s#
