    A particle is moving in one dimension (along xx axis) under the action of a variable force. It's initial position was 16 m16\text{ }m right of origin. The variation of its position (x)(x) with time (t)(t) is given as x=−3t3+18t2+16tx = - 3t^{3}+ 18t^{2}+ 16t, where xx is in mm and tt is in ss. The velocity of the particle when its acceleration becomes zero is_____ m/sm/s.
