A compression spring is needed to fit over a 0.4 in diameter rod. To allow for some clearance, the inside diameter of the spring is to be 0.5 in. To ensure a reasonable coil, use a spring index of 9. The spring is to be used in a machine by compressing it from a free length of 4.5 in through a stroke of 2.6 in to its solid length. The spring should have plain and ground ends, peened, and is to be made from music wire (G = 12 Mpsi). (a) Determine a suitable wire diameter. (b) Determine the number of active coils. (c) Determine the spring constant. (d) Determine the static factor of safety when compressed to solid length.

Question

A compression spring is needed to fit over a 0.4 in diameter rod. To allow
for some clearance, the inside diameter of the spring is to be 0.5 in. To ensure a
reasonable coil, use a spring index of 9. The spring is to be used in a machine
by compressing it from a free length of 4.5 in through a stroke of 2.6 in to its
solid length. The spring should have plain and ground ends, peened, and is to
be made from music wire (G = 12 Mpsi). (a) Determine a suitable wire
diameter. (b) Determine the number of active coils. (c) Determine the spring
constant. (d) Determine the static factor of safety when compressed to solid
length.
