A small lab scale has a rigid L-shaped frame ABC consisting of a horizontal aim AB (length b = 30 cm) and a vertical arm BC (length c = 20 cm) pivoted at point B. The pivot is attached to the outer frame BCD that stands on a laboratory bench. The position of the pointer at C is controlled by two parallel springs, each having a spring constant k = 3650 N/m. that are attached to a threaded rod. The pitch of the threads is p = 1.5 mm. If the weight is 65 N. how many revolutions of the nut are required to bring the pointer back to the mark?
In a compound helical spring, the inner spring is concentric with the outer spring, but is 9 mm shorter. The outer spring has ten coils of mean diameter 24 mm, and the wire diameter is 3 mm.

Subject : - Mechanical Engineering A helical spring is provided with a rigid plate at each end.A bolt passes through the spring and the endplates. By turning the nut, the spring is compressed until the coils touch. The height of the unloaded spring is 600 mm, its mean coil diameter is 100 mm and the diameter of the spring wire is 28 mm. The spring has 18 coils. The diameter of the bolt is 25 mm and each plate is 25mm thick. Calculate the elongation of the bolt when the spring is fully compressed as well as the stress in the spring wire ( E = 200 GPa and G = 80 GPa )
