Have you checked your control and math text books for the answer? I find it a little hard to believe the answer is not in there (at least in a text explanation form). Have you looked at the following links also.....

The rise time of a damped response can be calculated with this formula:

where ζ is the damping ratio and ωn is the natural frequency of the network.
