An object of mass ' $m$ ' initially at rest on a smooth horizontal plane starts moving under the action of force $F=2 N$. In the process of its linear motion, the angle $\theta$ (as shown in figure) between the direction of force and horizontal varies as $\theta= kx$, where $k$ is a constant and $x$ is the distance covered by the object from its initial position. The expression of kinetic energy of the object will be $E =\frac{ n }{ k } \sin \theta$. The value of $n$ is $.....$
