A block of mass m=10kgm=10 \mathrm{kg}m=10kg rests on a horizontal table. The coefficient of friction between the block and the table is 0.050.050.05. When hit by a bullet of mass 50g50g50g moving with speed vvv, that gets embedded in it, the block moves and comes to stop after moving a distance of 2m2m2m on the table. If a freely falling object were to acquire speed v10\frac{v}{10}10v​ after being dropped from height HHH, then neglecting energy losses and taking g=10ms−2g=10 m{s}^{-2}g=10ms−2, the value of HHH is close to

When a part of a straight capillary tube is placed vertically in a liquid, the liquid raises upto certain height $h$. If the inner radius of the capillary tube, density of the liquid and surface tension of the liquid decrease by $1 \%$ each, then the height of the liquid in the tube will change by $\%$.
