Two steel springs are arranged in series as shown. The upper spring has 24 furns of 50-mm- diameter wire on a mean radius of 186 mm. The lower spring consists of 16 turns of 28-mm diameter wire on a mean radius of 109 mm . If the ultimate shearing stress in either spring must not exceed 596 MPa, (a) compute the maximum value of P and total elongation using factor of safety equal to 3.0. (b) What is the equivalent spring constant? Use G = 83 GPa.

5. Two steel springs are arranged in series as shown. The upper spring has 24 turns of 50-mm-
diameter wire on a mean radius of 186 mm. The lower spring consists of 16 turns of 28-mm
diameter wire on a mean radius of 109 mm . If the ultimate shearing stress in either spring
must not exceed 596 MPa, (a) compute the maximum value of P and total elongation using
factor of safety equal to 3.0. (b) What is the equivalent spring constant? Use G = 83 GPa.
