Question: A helical compression spring is subjected to continuously varying external load. In the most compressed condition the force on the spring is 4 0 0

A helical compression spring is subjected to continuously varying external load. In the most compressed condition the force on the spring is 400 N. After an 8 mm of release the spring minimum force on the spring drops a value of 260 N. Assuming that oil tempered wire is used with a mean coil radius of 13 mm, determine a suitable size, required active coil and total coil numbers and free length for the spring to function safely without any type of failure with a strength safety factor of at least 1.20. After design, check if the spring you designed is fit or not if the frequency of external spring load is 5 Hz.
Make logical assumptions "only if" not enough information is given. Show all the calculations in details.
You should use Shigleys Mechanical Engineering Design book as the source.
