I have a balance beam question. See sketch. with the beam supported in the middle and a weight hung across it approximately 24" long. the left side drops down roughly 1/2". Is there a way to calculate the weight difference from one end to the other? Even if it is only a ratio. total weight is...
We are designing a spiral torsion spring using 17-7 Condition C. Our question is after forming the spring do we have to harden it to CH 900? Or can it be used reliably in Condition C?
We were told that we can only use half the maximum yield stress for our factor of safety calculations, if we...
We were wondering if Ni-Span C can be passivated? We make springs and have found in the past that when we passivate it the spring gets weaker. We have a spring now that is too strong and would like to passivate it to make it weaker. But we want to make sure there is no long term effect to the...
