Q#1:    

A) It is true that the major stresses produced in helical springs are shear stresses due to twisting, explain how the load applied is parallel to or along the axis of the spring
Expert Solution
Step 1

Helical springs are constructed of wire that has been coiled into a helix shape and is designed to handle compressive or tensile stresses.

The cross-section of the wire used to make the spring might be either round or square. Compression and tension helical springs are the two types of helical springs.

When the spring is coiled so tightly that the plane containing each turn is practically at right angles to the axis of helix and the wire is subjected to tension, it is termed to be "Closely Coiled."

The helix angle of a tightly coiled helical spring is typically less than 10 degrees.
