ii) total number of coil;
iii) free length, pitch and helix angle ; and
iv) check for solid stress.}(10 marks) 6(b) A semi-elliptic leaf spring consists of two extra full length leaves and eight graduated leaves, including the master leaf. The centre to centre distance between the two eyes of the spring is 1.1 m. The maximum force acting on the spring is 12 kN and the width of each leaf is 60 mm. The spring is pre-stressed so as to equalize stresses in all leaves. If the stress induced corresponding to maximum load is equal to 350 N/mm² and modulus of elasticity of leaf spring is 300 Gpa. Determine:
