For a diatomic vibrating rotor, in vibrational level v = 3 and rotational level J, the sum of the rotational and vibrational energies is $11493.6\ \mathrm{cm^{-1}}$. Its equilibrium oscillation frequency is $2998.3\ \mathrm{cm^{-1}}$, anharmonicity constant is 0.0124 and rotational constant under rigid rotor approximation is $9.716\ \mathrm{cm^{-1}}$. The value of J is ____. (Up to nearest integer)
