\mathrm{\text { Since }\ \ m=\frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1-v^2 / c^2}}\ \ \ \ \ \text {, given }\ m=m \text {. }}
On solving we get \mathrm{v=\frac{\sqrt{8}}{3}\ c}
\mathrm{\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{v}=\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{3}\ \mathrm{c} \\ & \mathrm{v}=\frac{2 \times 1.414 \times 3 \times 10^8}{3} \end{aligned}}
\mathrm{\% \text { value }\ \ \ \ \ \ v=20 \%}
