An explosion breaks a rock into three parts in a horizontal plane. Two of them go off at right angles to each other. The first part of mass $1 \, kg$ moves with a speed of $12 \, m s^{-1}$ and the second part of mass $2 \, kg$ moves with $8 \, m s^{-1}$ speed. If the third part flies off with $4 \, m s^{-1}$ speed,then its mass is ......... $kg$.
