Chapter 3, Problem 23RQ

When applying the principles of work and force,

  1. work is accomplished when force is applied to an object that does not move

  • in the metric system the measurement for work is cubic centimeters
  • no work is accomplished when an object is stopped by mechanical force
  • if a 50-pound object is moved 10 feet, 500 ft.-lb of work are produced
  • Blurred answer

    Q6/ A helical square section spring is set inside another, the outer spring having a free length of 35 mm greater than the inner spring. The dimensions of each spring are as follows: Mean diameter (mm) Side of square section (mm) Active turns Outer Inner Spring Spring 120 70 8 7 20 15 Determine the (1) Maximum deflection of the two springs and (2) Equivalent spring rate of the two springs after sufficient load has been applied to deflect the outer spring 60 mm. Use G = 83 GN/m².
    Q2/ The bumper springs of a railway carriage are to be made of rectangular section wire. The ratio of the longer side of the wire to its shorter side is 1.5, and the ratio of mean diameter of spring to the longer side of wire is nearly equal to 6. Three such springs are required to bring to rest a carriage weighing 25 kN moving with a velocity of 75 m/min with a maximum deflection of 200 mm. Determine the sides of the rectangular section of the wire and the mean diameter of coils when the shorter side is parallel to the axis of the spring. The allowable shear stress is not to exceed 300 MPa and G = 84 kN/mm². Q6/ A belical
    11. A load of 2 kN is dropped axially on a close coiled helical spring, from a height of 250 mm. The spring has 20 effective turns, and it is made of 25 mm diameter wire. The spring index is 8. Find the maximum shear stress induced in the spring and the amount of compression produced. The modulus of rigidity for the material of the spring wire is 84 kN/mm². [Ans. 287 MPa; 290 mm]
