Two closely-coiled helical springs 'A' and 'B' of the same matenal, same number of turns and made from same wire are subjected to an axial load W. The mean diameter of spring 'A' is double the mean diameter of spring 'B'. The ratio of deflections in spring 'B' to spring 'A' will be
1/8
1/4
2
4

Deflection = (8*max load*D^3)/G*diameter of spring wire.

Here D is mean diameter of spring.

Using this answer comes out to be option A.

As per deflection formula the ratio is 2.

SURESH DARSI said:   9 years ago
Deflection = (8FD^3)/(Gd^4).

Sagar said:   8 years ago
Here, the formula is (8WD^3)/(Cd^4).

Here, Delt=6(4wR^(3)n)/cd^4.

Aakash said:   8 years ago
X = (8WD^3)/(Gd^4).

From this formula, the ratio will be 1/8.

@Akash.

In question, the mean diameter is twice.
