1. Design and check for stability for a square and ground end helical spring subjected to a maximum force of 1300 N supported between flat surfaces. The deflection of the spring corresponding to the maximum force should be approximately 25mm. The material used for the spring is cold drawn steel wire with ultimate tensile strength, modulus of elasticity and rigidity of 1090, 207000 and 81730 MPa, respectively. Assume and state relevant parameters.
