A helical compression spring is required to design, which be subjected to a maximum force of 1250 N. The deflection of the spring corresponding to the maximum force should be approximately 30 mm. The spring index can be taken as 6. The spring is made of patented and cold-drawn steel wire. The ultimate tensile strength and modulus of rigidity of the spring material are 1090 and 81370 N/mm² respectively. The permissible shear stress for the spring wire should be taken as 50% of the ultimate tensile strength. Design the spring and calculate: i) Wire diameter, ii) Mean coil diameter, iii) Number of active coils, iv) Total number of coils, v) Free length of spring, vi) Pitch of coil.
