Solid Length of Engine Valve Spring given its Free Length and Maximum Compression Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Solid Length of Valve Spring = Free Length of Valve Spring-1.15*Maximum Compression in Valve Spring
L = L_f-1.15*x
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Solid Length of Valve Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Solid Length of Valve Spring is defined as the axial length of the spring which is so compressed that the adjacent coils touch each other.
Free Length of Valve Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Free Length of Valve Spring is defined as the axial length of an unloaded helical compression spring. In In this case, no external force acts on the spring.
Maximum Compression in Valve Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Maximum Compression in Valve Spring is the maximum amount of axial deflection in the valve spring.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Free Length of Valve Spring: 122 Millimeter --> 0.122 Meter (Check conversion here)
Maximum Compression in Valve Spring: 34.8 Millimeter --> 0.0348 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L = L_f-1.15*x --> 0.122-1.15*0.0348

Evaluating ... ...

L = 0.08198

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.08198 Meter -->81.98 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

81.98 Millimeter <-- Solid Length of Valve Spring

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
