-->//(Springs) Example 10.20 -->//Pre-load on the compression spring Pmin (N) -->Pmin = 375 Pmin = 375. -->//Permissible torsional shear stress in the spring tau (N/mm2) -->tau = 750 tau = 750. -->//Permissible outer diameter of the spring D (mm) -->D = 42 D = 42. The design is safe Wire diameter(d) = 5.000000 mm Mean coil diameter(Dmean) = 37.000000 mm
