Ahelical compression spring is made with oil-tempered wire with wire diameter of 0.2 in, mean coil diameter of 2 in, a total of 12 coils, a free length of 5 in, with squared ends. (a) find the solid length. (b) find the force necessary to deflect the spring to its solid length. (c) find the factor of safety guarding against yielding when the spring is compressed to its solid length.

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10
