A small rivet connecting two pieces of sheet metal is being clinched by hammering. Determine the impulse

Question:

A small rivet connecting two pieces of sheet metal is being clinched by hammering. Determine the impulse exerted on the rivet and the energy absorbed by the rivet under each blow, knowing that the head of the hammer has a mass of 750 g and that it strikes the rivet with a velocity of 6 m/s. Assume that the hammer does not rebound and that the anvil is supported by springs and

(a) Has an infinite mass (rigid support),

(b) Has a mass of 4kg.
