Let there be a row of five yellow cubes lying side by side. The first cube has an edge length of \( 100\,\mathrm{cm} \) and each next cube has an edge length by \( 10\,\mathrm{cm} \) shorter than the previous one. Let there be a second row of five blue cubes lying side by side. The first blue cube has an edge length of \( 100\,\mathrm{cm} \) and each next cube has an edge length by \( 10\% \) smaller than the previous one. What is the difference between the length of these two rows?
