A helical compression spring is wound using 1 mm-diameter music wire. The outside coil diameter of the spring is 11 mm. The ends are squared and there are 12 total turns.
(a) Estimate the torsional yield strength of the wire.
(b) Estimate the static load corresponding to the yield strength.
(c) Estimate the scale of the spring.
(d) Estimate the solid length of the spring.
(e) Is there any possibility for buckling?
