    Topical Exercise Elasticity: Spring in Suspension System

    Uploaded by

    Mohamad Rizal Mukhtar
    Springs are widely used in vehicle suspension systems due to their elastic properties. Elasticity refers to a spring's ability to be compressed and stretched and return to its original shape. When a spring is compressed or stretched, the forces between its molecules are responsible for its elasticity. Students are asked to choose the most suitable spring from four options to support a maximum weight of 100kg based on characteristics like diameter, elastic limit, spring constant, and strength.

    TOPICAL EXERCISE ELASTICITY Spring is widely used in suspension system of vehicles such as car and motorcycle.

    This is because of the elasticity of the spring. Figure 8.1 below shows how a spring is used in suspension system of a motorcycle.
