Homework Statement
The first theory shows a spring under an axial load where the Torque is given as WRcos(a)
The second theory shows a spring under axial Torque. T is given as Wsin(a)
Homework Equations
Given in links
The Attempt at a Solution
A torque T would be at full strength along the X axis, where cos(0) = 1. Where a bending moment would be at full strength along Y where sin(90) = 1.
It seems to be other way around though, what am I missing?
