Compute for maximum load P for concentric springs

A load P is supported by two concentric steel springs as shown. Spring 1 consists of 30 turns of 15 mm diameter wire on a mean diameter of 80 mm. Spring 2 has 25 turns of 20 mm diameter wire on a mean diameter of 40 mm. Compute the maximum load that will not exceed a shearing stress of 140 MPa in either spring. Use G = 76 GPa.


Compute for the maximum load P in kN.
