    A semi-elliptic leaf spring used for automobile suspension consists of three extra full- length leaves and 15 graduated-length leaves, including the master leaf. The centre-to- centre distance between two eyes of the spring is 1 m. The maximum force that can act on the spring is 75 kN. For each leaf, the ratio of width to thickness is 9:1. The modulus of elasticity of the leaf material is 207000 N/mm 2 . The leaves are pre-stressed in such a way that when the force is maximum, the stresses induced in all leaves are same and equal to 450 N/mm 2 . Determine (i) the width and thickness of the leaves; (ii) the initial nip; and (iii) the initial pre-load required to close the gap C between extra fulllength leaves and graduated-length leaves.
