A rigid bar, pinned at O, is supported by two identical springs as shown in the figure. Each spring consists of 20 turns of 3/4-in-diameter wire having a mean diameter of 6 in. Determine the maximum load W that may be supported if the shearing stress in the springs is limited to 20 ksi. Solve using the A.M.Wahl Formula
