A weighing scale is supported by two springs on a level pad, one inner and one outer, with the outer spring being 10mm taller than the inner. Considering the following properties, determine the maximum weight that the scale can carry without exceeding an allowable shearing stress of 50 MPa. Outer: d = 12 mm D = 150 mm G = 83 GPa Inner: d = 20 mm D = 100 mm G = 83 GPa A weighing scale is supported by two springs on a level pad, one inner and one outer, with the outer spring being 10mm taller than the inner.
