A torsion bar which is 500 mm long has a torsional spring constant of 112 N*m/°. To what length should it be cut to have a torsional spring constant of 220 N*m/°.

Step 1
To determine the length that should be cut to have a torsional spring constant of 220 N*m/rad, we need to use the formula for the torsional spring constant: k = (G * J) / L where: k is the torsional spring constant (220 N*m/rad) G is the shear modulus of the Show more…

A spring has a length of 0.190 m when a 0.300 kg mass hangs from it, and a length of 0.750 m when a 2.20 kg mass hangs from it. What force constant (in N/m) does the spring have? What is the unloaded length (in m) of the spring? Additional Materials: Reading
