I am doing an assignment where I need to find an example of a spring that is used in a common device. Is a phone chord considered a spring? Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

A phone cord is not a good spring.

A common device using a spring would be a key on the keyboard of your computer.

An automobile has springs (and shock absorbers) to provide a smoother ride.

My office chair has a spring so that I can lean back.

A bungee cord is a spring.

A rubber band is a spring.

When you turn a doorknob, a spring turns it back when you release it.

Answer 2

Thanks very much.
