$A$ block of mass $M = 10\,kg$ rests on a horizontal table. The coefficient of friction between the block and the table is $\mu = 0.05.$ When hit by a bullet of mass $m = 50\,g$ moving with speed $v,$ which gets embedded in it,the block moves and comes to a stop after moving a distance of $2\,m$ on the table. If a freely falling object were to acquire speed $\frac{v}{10}$ after being dropped from height $H,$ then neglecting energy losses and taking $g = 10\,m/s^2,$ the value of $H$ is close to ................. $km$.

Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $5 \ kg$ and $10 \ kg$ respectively are placed as shown in the figure.
