outside diameter if the spring has:
A. Plain ends
B. Ground ends
C. Square ends
D. Square and Ground Ends

2. A spring with square and ground ends has 15 actual number of coils, diameter of 6mm, and
pitch of 10 mm. If spring rate is 100 KN/m, determine the solid force.
3. It is found that a load of 50lb, an extension coil spring deflects 8.5 in. Determine:
A. Spring rate
B. Load if the deflection is 2.5 in.
4. Compute the deflection of a 16 coils helical having a load of 120kgs. The modulus of elasticity in
shear of spring is 100 GPA, outside diameter of 0.33 ft and with 0.011 yard. The spring is
squared and ground ends.
5. A weight of 100 lbs strikes a coil spring from a height of 18 inches and deflects the spring of 6
inches. Find the average force acting on the spring.
6. If it is determined experimentally that a load of 20kg applied to an extension coil spring will
provide a deflection of 200mm. What load will deflect the spring 60mm?
7. A spring sustains 200 ft-lb of energy with deflection of 3 in. Assume that the mean coil diameter
is 7 times the wire diameter and allowable stress of 100ksi. Determine the outside diameter.

allowable working stress is 415 Mpa and the modulus of elasticity in shear is 80GPA. Find the
wire diameter.
9. Find the wahl factor of the spring having an inside diameter of 10 inches and wire diameter of
0.75 in.
10. A cantilever spring is composed of six graduated leaves each 60mm wide and 12 mm thick. Find
the maximum induced stress if loaded with 8000 N at the tip. Length of spring is 700 mm. Use E=
200 GPA.
11. The smaller of two concentric helical springs is made of 22 mm diameter steel spring and has an
outside diameter of 100 mm with 10 active coils. The outer is made of 32 mm steel spring and
has an outside diameter of 250 mm with 8 active coils. Before the load is applied, the outer
spring is 25 mm longer than the inner spring. If the load of 90KN is applied to this nest of
springs, find the spring rate of each. Use G= 80 GPA.

first spring is rated at 0.400 kg/mm and the other 2 lower is rated at 0.64 kg/mm. Compute the
total deflection.
14. All four compression coil spring support one load of 400 kg. All four springs are arranged in
parallel and rated same at 0.709kg/mm. Compute the deflection in mm.
15. A helical spring having spquared and ground ends has a total of 18 coils and its material has
modulus of elasticity in shear of 78.910 Gpa. If the spring has an outside diameter of 10.42cm
and a wire diameter of 0.625cm. Compute the maximum deflection that can be produced in the
spring due to a load of 50kgs.
