Question 3 A helical compression spring is wound using 2.5 mm diameter music wire. The spring has an outside diameter of 31 mm with plain ground ends, and 14 total coils. 1) What should the free length be to ensure that when the spring is compressed solid the torsional stress does not exceed the yield strength, that is, that it is solid-safe? 2) What force is needed to compress this spring to closure? 3) Estimate the spring rate. 4) Is there a possibility that the spring might buckle in service?

A small lab scale has a rigid L-shaped frame ABC consisting of a horizontal arm AB (length b = 10 in.) and a vertical arm BC (length c = 7 in.) pivoted al point B. The pivot is attached to the outer frame BCD that stands on a laboratory bench. The position of the pointer al C is controlled by a spring, Jt = 5 lb/in., that is attached to a threaded rod. The pitch of the threads is p = 1/16 in. Under application of load W, 12 revolutions of the nut are required to bring the pointer back to the mark. Calculate the weight W.
