Assuming zero air resistance, we can take the horizontal component of its velocity as constant until it hits the ground. So we have the horizontal component as uCosA (Let the angle be A).
And the vertical component at any given time t will be uSinA-gt.

Equating the two, we get uSinA-gt = uCosA

t = u(SinA-CosA)/g
