A particle is constrained to move at a constant speed on an inclined plane (ABCD) along the curved path shown in the figure. Edges AD and BC are parallel to the
axis. The inclined plane makes an angle
with the
-plane. The velocity vector of the particle makes an angle
with the dotted line which is parallel to edge
. If the speed of the particle is 2 m/s,
, and
, then the
-component of the velocity of the particle in m/s is __________
