      36t = 72000/62.4

      about 35′ square, if the base doesn’t weigh anything, and is 1′ thick.
      obviously there’s more to consider, the weight of the base itself and thickness.
      wind and unequal distribution of weight.
      keep in mind, if the weight is not equally distributed, the base needs some serious strength to keep from cracking in half.
      which adds weight.

      surely you’re not going to use y/a as a design reference. :-(
