A laminated semi-elliptic leaf spring under a central load of 3000 lb is to have an effective length of 36 in. and is to deflect not more than 3 in. Then spring has leaves, two of which are full length, and all leaves have the same width thickness. The maximum stress in the leaves is not to exceed 50,000 psi. Calculate the width and thickness of the leaves.
