Question

An extension spring is made of 2 mm music wire A228 (E = 196.5 GPa, G = 81.0 GPa). The spring body has 6 coils and it is close-wound with an initial load (preload). The spring has side hooks of radii r1 = 5 mm and r2 = 5 mm. The outer diameter is 12 mm.

1) Determine the free length Lo  in mm.

2)Based on the maximum preload stress, determine the maximum load (Fi) in N 

3) Estimate the spring rate (k) in N/mm

4)Determine the load F (in N) that would cause permanent deformation.
