A helical spring is provided with a rigid plate at each end. A bolt passes through the spring and the end plates. 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 the plates are each 25 mm thick. Calculate the elongation of the bolt when the spring is fully compressed as well as the stress in the spring wire (take E = 200 GPa and G = 80 GPa).
