    A block of mass $2\,kg$ moving on a horizontal surface with speed of $4\,ms ^{-1}$ enters a rough surface ranging from $x =0.5\,m$ to $x =1.5\,m$. The retarding force in this range of rough surface is related to distance by $F =- kx$ where $k =12\,Nm ^{-1}$. The speed of the block as it just crosses the rough surface will be ........... $\,ms ^{-1}$
