we can determine where the small block  strikes the ground, but we can not  determine the time it takes.

you use directly the motion eqn. in  radial and tangential directions,   while i usually derive the velocity  and acceleration from the x− and  y−coordinates which is mostly  lengthy and complicated. your  method is thus shorter and better.
