Describe flat springs and give at least two uses for flat springs.

What will be an ideal response?


Flat springs are arched
or bent flat-metal shapes designed so when placed in machinery they cause tension
on adjacent parts. The tension can be used to level parts, provide a cushion, or
position the relative movement of one part to another. One of the most common
examples of flat springs is leaf springs on an automobile.
