The capacity of a spring to store energy is called the spring form co-efficient. Stiffness of a spring is measured by the____________________?
Correct answer: A. Load to produce unit deflection
- A. Load to produce unit deflection
- B. Capacity to store energy
- C. Ratio of the wire & coil diameters
- D. Ability to absorb shock
Explanation
Spring stiffness is the force required to produce unit deflection, expressed as load divided by deflection. The ability to store energy describes resilience or the spring form coefficient, not stiffness.
