An engineer is forced by geometric considerations to apply the torque on the spring of Prob. 4–3 at the location x = 0.2l. For a uniform-diameter spring, this would cause the long leg of the span to be underutilized when both legs have the same diameter. If the diameter of the long leg is reduced sufficiently, the shear stress in the two legs can be made equal. How would this change affect the allowable angle of twist, the largest torque, and the spring rate?
