Answer

$1.39\times10^{-3}\,s$

Work Step by Step

$V=V_{0}\sin 2\pi ft$ Given that $f=60.0\,Hz$ and $V=\frac{V_{0}}{2}$ $\implies \sin 2\pi ft=\frac{1}{2}$ Or $\sin 120\pi t=\frac{1}{2}$ Or $\sin^{-1}\frac{1}{2}=120\pi t$ That is, $\frac{\pi}{6}=120\pi t$ $t=\frac{1}{6\times120}=\frac{x}{y}=1.39\times10^{-3}\,s$
