To solve the equation \( 0 = \frac{1}{3}x^2 - 3 \), we first isolate the \( x^2 \) term. We can start by adding 3 to both sides:

\[
\frac{1}{3}x^2 = 3
\]

Next, we multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction:

\[
x^2 = 9
\]

Now, we take the square root of both sides. Since we are looking for the positive solution, we have:

\[
x = \sqrt{9} = 3
\]

Thus, the positive solution to the equation is:

\[
\boxed{3}
\]
