When an open coiled helical compression spring is subjected to an axial compressive load, the maximum shear stress induced in the wire is (where D = Mean diameter of the spring coil, d = Diameter of the spring wire, K = Wahl's stress factor, and W = Axial compressive load on the spring)
(WD/ πd3) × K
(2WD/ πd3) × K
(4WD/ πd3) × K
(8WD/ πd3) × K
Correct Answer :
D. (8WD/ πd3) × K
