The formula to calculate the torsion bar spring energy is:
\[ U = \frac{1}{2} \times k \times a^2 \]
Where:
A torsion bar spring energy measures the potential energy stored in a spiral/torsional spring that has been twisted by a certain angle.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ U = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 2^2 = 10 \]
The torsion bar spring energy is 10 joules.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ U = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 1.5^2 = 3.375 \]
The torsion bar spring energy is 3.375 joules.
