This formula uses 7 Variables
Variables Used
Deflection of center of leaf spring - (Measured in Meter) - Deflection of center of leaf spring is a numerical measurement of how far apart objects or points are.
Mass attached at the centre of the leaf spring - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass attached at the centre of the leaf spring is both a property of a physical body and a measure of its resistance to acceleration (a change in its state of motion) when a net force is applied.
Angular speed of the governor spindle - Angular speed of the governor spindle is the speed of the governor spindle in rotational motion.
Distance from spindle axis to centre of gravity - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from spindle axis to centre of gravity when governor is rotating is a numerical measurement of how far apart objects or points are.
Distance between fixed ends of spring - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between fixed ends of spring is a numerical measurement of how far apart objects or points are.
Young’s modulus of the material of the spring - (Measured in Pascal) - Young’s modulus of the material of the spring is a measure of the ability of a material to withstand changes in length when under lengthwise tension or compression.
Moment of Inertia - (Measured in Kilogram Square Meter) - Moment of Inertia is the measure of the resistance of a body to angular acceleration about a given axis.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Mass attached at the centre of the leaf spring: 8.5 Kilogram --> 8.5 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Angular speed of the governor spindle: 8 --> No Conversion Required
Distance from spindle axis to centre of gravity: 0.06 Meter --> 0.06 Meter No Conversion Required
Distance between fixed ends of spring: 0.013 Meter --> 0.013 Meter No Conversion Required
Young’s modulus of the material of the spring: 10 Newton per Square Meter --> 10 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Moment of Inertia: 1.125 Kilogram Square Meter --> 1.125 Kilogram Square Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
δ = (m*ωspindle^2*Da+δ*l^3)/(192*E*I) --> (8.5*8^2*0.06*0.013^3)/(192*10*1.125)
Evaluating ... ...
δ = 3.31991111111111E-08
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
3.31991111111111E-08 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
3.31991111111111E-08 3.3E-8 Meter <-- Deflection of center of leaf spring
