$A$ stone tied to a string of length $L$ is whirled in a vertical circle with the other end of the string at the centre. At a certain instant of time, the stone is at its lowest position and has a speed $u$. The magnitude of the change in its velocity, as it reaches a position where the string is horizontal, is $\sqrt{x(u^{2}-gL)}$. The value of $x$ is .............
