A body weighing 1000 lb falls from a height of 6 in. and strikes a 2000 lb/in spring.

The deformation of
the spring is _____ inches.

Compute the deflection of an 18 coils helical spring having a load of 100 kg. The modulus of
elasticity in shear of spring is 96.62 Gpa, OD of 9.256 cm and with wire diameter of 9.525 mm. The
spring is squared and ground ends.
Compute the maximum deflection of a 20 coils helical spring having a load of 75 kgs. The spring is
squared and ground ends with modulus of elasticity in shear of 79.84 GPa, outside diameter of 101.6 cm
and wire diameter of 9.525 mm.

Four compression coil spring in parallel support a load of 360 kg. Each spring has a gradient of 0.717
kg/mm. Find the deflection.
A square and ground ends spring has a free length of 250 mm. There are 10 active coils with wire
diameter of 12.5 mm. If the spring rate is 150 KN/m and mean diameter is 100 mm, determine the solid
stress.
A spring sustain 200 ft-lb of energy with deflection of 3 in. Assume that the coil diameter is 7 times the
wire diameter and allowable stress of 100,000 psi, determine the wire diameter.
