Wire Diameter of Outer Spring given Wire Diameter of Inner Spring and Spring Index Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wire Diameter of Outer Spring = (Spring Index of Coil Spring/(Spring Index of Coil Spring-2))*Wire Diameter of Inner Spring
d₁ = (C/(C-2))*d₂
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Wire Diameter of Outer Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Wire Diameter of Outer Spring is defined as the diameter or the thickness of the outer spring wire.
Spring Index of Coil Spring - Spring index of coil spring is defined as the ratio of mean coil diameter of the spring to the diameter of the spring Wire.
Wire Diameter of Inner Spring - (Measured in Meter) - The Wire Diameter of Inner Spring is defined as the diameter or the thickness of the inner spring wire.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Spring Index of Coil Spring: 5 --> No Conversion Required
Wire Diameter of Inner Spring: 5.5 Millimeter --> 0.0055 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d₁ = (C/(C-2))*d₂ --> (5/(5-2))*0.0055

Evaluating ... ...

d₁ = 0.00916666666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00916666666666667 Meter -->9.16666666666667 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

9.16666666666667 ≈ 9.166667 Millimeter <-- Wire Diameter of Outer Spring

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
