Cannon Fire!

Can anyone please help me figre this one out;

A senior physics class conducting a research project on projectile motion constructs a device that can launch a cricket ball. The launching device is designed so that the ball can be launced at ground level with an initial velocity of 28m/s at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal. At what time will the ball reach its maximum height?
 


Figure the vertical velocity component from the angle.

Divide by the magnitude of gravity that is acting to slow it down.

That's your time.
