\begin{gathered} m=0.0306\text{ kg} \\ F=141\text{ N} \\ x=0.591\text{ m} \\ v=\text{?} \\ F=ma \\ \text{Solving a} \\ a=(F)/(m)=\frac{141N}{0.0306\text{ kg}}=4607.8m/s^2 \\ v^2=v^2_o+2ax \\ The\text{ arrow stars from rest},hence_{} \\ v_o=\text{ 0 m/s} \\ v^2=2ax \\ v=√(2ax) \\ v=\sqrt{(2)(4607.8m/s^2)(0.591\text{ m})} \\ v=73.8\text{ m/s} \\ \text{The spe}ed\text{ is }73.8\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}
