Hi,
How would I go about finding the spring constant of a bundle of nylon rope acting as a torsion spring?
I know the length. I don't know the width of the bundle. When twisted I wanted roughly 6cm diameter (is that a wrong method)?
I ll be twisting it by 1080 degrees.
When twisted as above ^ -
how can I calculate how much force/energy it will project if an arm in the middle of the torsion spring is pulled against it by a certain length/angle.
Im guessing that the longer the arm, the more it can pull back.
Like a ballista.
Thank you.
