Question: A foundation for well - adjusted single acting drop hammer is situated on a compacted sand deposit. Details of machine foundation and soil are given

A foundation for well-adjusted single acting drop hammer is situated on a compacted sand
deposit. Details of machine foundation and soil are given below
Weight of tup =20kN; Height of fall of tup =1.5m
Weight of stand =40kN(stand is connected to the anvil)
Weight of foundation =5 times the weight of Anvil
Weight of anvil =55kN; Area of anvil =1.5m2
Thickness of pad below anvil =0.12m
Elastic modulus of pad material =260MPa
Area of foundation: 8 times the area of anvil
Shear modulus of soil (G)=260MNm2; Poisson's ratio ()=0.33
Co-efficient of restitution (e)=0.50
Find out (i) Natural frequencies of the system, (ii) Amplitudes of the foundation and anvil,
(iii) Stress on elastic pad, and (iv) Stress on soil.
