1) C- If k₁ = 1000 N/mm, k₂ = 500 N/mm

i- Show; which one of the spring configurations will have a greater spring rate?

iii- What is the deflection of the spring number 1 if the spring load is  1000 N

2- A coil spring has the following data: - mean coil diameter D = 150 mm - wire diameter d = 15 mm - number of total coils is 10 - ends of the spring are squared and ground - the shear modulus of the spring material G = 81400 MPa - the free length of the spring Lf = 360 mm

Find:

a) the spring index C

b) the Wahl factor K_w

c) the maximum stress on the spring due to load P = 4000 N

d) the solid length L_s

e) the deflection δ under the load P

f) the maximum deflection δ_max of the spring

g) the spring inside coil diameter D_i

h) check the stress of the spring using the nomogram using: D, d, P, C

3- a) Find the reactions at point A and B from the figure shown.

b) If the spring is replaced by a leaf spring where 2F = 4000 N, 2L = 1000 mm, number of leaves (n) = 4, leaf width (b’) = 50 mm, leaf height (h)= 9 mm. Find the stress on the spring (σb).
