A particle is moving in one dimension (along $\mathrm{x}$ axis) under the action of a variable force. It's initial position was $16 \mathrm{~m}$ right of origin. The variation of its position ( $\mathrm{x}$ ) with time ( $\mathrm{t})$ is given as $\mathrm{x}=-3 \mathrm{t}^5+18 \mathrm{t}^2+16 \mathrm{t}$, where $\mathrm{x}$ is in $\mathrm{m}$ and $\mathrm{t}$ is in $\mathrm{s}$. The velocity of the particle when its acceleration becomes zero is________ $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}.$
