In the figure below, the two blocks are released from rest, with the 2.0 kg block at height H above the ground. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the 3.0 kg block and the table on which it is moving is 0.11. What height H must be for the 2.0 kg block to have a speed of magnitude 9.1 m/s just before it hits the ground? Consider g = 10.0 m/s2.
