At time $t=0$, a disk of radius $1 m$ starts to roll without slipping on a horizontal plane with an angular acceleration of $\alpha=\frac{2}{3} rad s ^{-2}$. A small stone is stuck to the disk. At $t=0$, it is at the contact point of the disk and the plane. Later, at time $t=\sqrt{\pi} s$, the stone detaches itself and flies off tangentially from the disk. The maximum height (in $m$ ) reached by the stone measured from the plane is $\frac{1}{2}+\frac{x}{10}$. The value of $x$ is. . . . . . .[Take $g=10 m s ^{-2}$.]
