Question: A helical compression spring is wound using 3 . 5 - m m - diameter wire. The spring has an outside diameter of 5 0

A helical compression spring is wound using 3.5-mm-diameter wire. The spring has an outside
diameter of 50.6 mm with squared and ground ends, and 5.5 total coils. The suggested free length
of this spring is 75.5 mm . The material of this spring is OQ&T wire. Investigate this helical
compression springs to see if it is solid-safe considering using factor of safety, ns=1.2. If not,
what is the largest free length to which it can be wound using factor of safety, ns=1.2?
Note that, for OQ&T wire material, torsional yield strength is 50% of ultimate strength i.e.
Ssy=0.5Sut.
