Projectile 1 when it returns to the same level from where both are thrown will have its velocity vector directed with an angle of 37° with the horizontal....... this configuration is the same as that of the initial configuration of projectile 2.... Hence from this point onwards the time taken to reach the ground is equal to t2 tthus the time difference is equal to the time of flight (ie. the time taken by 1 to reach the same level from where it was projected) hence t1-t2 = 2uSinθ/g = 60/9.8 = 6.122 NEAREST integer = 6
