Question: A helical compression spring made from 4 mm diameter chrome - silicon wire and has an outside diameter of 5 0 mm with squared ends

A helical compression spring made from 4 mm diameter chrome-silicon wire and has an outside diameter of 50 mm with squared ends and 12 total coils. The length of the spring is such that, when compressed solid, the torsional stress is 815 MPa .
1.1 Determine the spring rate.
2538.012Nm
1.2 Determine the free length of the spring. 209.17mm
1.3 This is a shot-peened spring. Based on the Goodman fatigue failure locus witt Zimmerli data, determine whether a fatigue failure can be expected if the spring is cycled between the loads Fmin=50N and Fmax=400N.1.13MPa
