A \(400 \mathrm{~kg}\) forging hammer is mounted on four identical springs, each of stiffness \(k=4200 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}\). During the forging process, a \(110 \mathrm{~kg}\) hammer, which is part of the machine, is dropped from a height of \(1.4 \mathrm{~m}\) onto an anvil, as shown in Figure P1.34.

(a) What is the resulting velocity of the entire machine after the hammer is dropped?

(b) What is the maximum displacement of the machine?
