La Figure: Compression spring The squared type of compression spring has total 8 coils shown in the figure. The spring is made of music wire with wire diameter and mean diameter of 0.30 inch and 3.0 inch respectively. Initially the free length of the compression spring was proposed as 3.75 inch. Is this safe to compress the spring to the solid length (L.) considering the factor of safety 1.5? If it is safe why it is safe? Show your calculation. If this is not safe, propose the maximum free length of this spring.
