Ce Boards Strength Torsion
A load is supported by two concentric steel springs of equal length. The inner spring consists of 30 turns
of 20 mm diameter wire on a mean diameter of 150 mm, while the outer spring has 20 turns of 30 mm
wire on a mean diameter of 200 mm. Use = 83000 MPa.
1. Find the maximum load that the inner spring could carry so as not to exceed a shearing stress of
140 MPa. [2749 N]
2. Find the maximum load that the outer spring could carry so as not to exceed a shearing stress of
140 MPa. [6904 N]
3. Find the maximum load that the spring system could carry. [9061.5 N]
