The time is =0.27s

Explanation:

Resolving in the vertical direction uarr^+

initial velocity is u_y=vsintheta=7*sin(1/8pi)

Acceleration is a=-g

At the maximum height, v=0

We apply the equation of motion

v=u+at

to calculate the time to reach the greatest height

0=7sin(1/8pi)-g*t

t=7/g*sin(1/8pi)

=0.27s
