A vibration isolation block is to be installed in a laboratory so that the vibration from adjacent factory operations will not disturb certain experiments (Fig. P3.15). If the mass of the isolation block is 1000 kg and the surrounding floor and foundation vibrate at 1500 cycles per minute, determine the stiffness of the isolation system such that the motion of the isolation block is limited to 10% of the floor vibration; neglect damping.
