TRY QUESTIONS FOR MACHINE DESIGN (SPRINGS)

Q1.
A compression coil spring made of an alloy steel is having the following specifications:
Mean diameter of coil = 50 mm; Wire diameter = 5 mm; Number of active coils = 20 . If this
spring is subjected to an axial load of 500 N; calculate the maximum shear stress (neglect the
curvature effect) to which the spring material is subjected.

Q2.

A helical spring is made from a wire of 6 mm diameter and has outside diameter of 75 mm. If the
permissible shear stress is 350 MN/m² and modulus of rigidity 84 kN/mm², find the axial load
which the spring can carry and the deflection per active turn.

Q3.

Design a spring for a balance to measure 0 to 1000 N over a scale of length 80 mm. The spring
is to be enclosed in a casing of 25 mm diameter. The approximate number of turns is 30. The
modulus of rigidity is 85 kN/mm2. Also calculate the maximum shear stress induced.
