However, the actual spring rate is dependent on the number of active coils to be pedantic, and if someone cuts one (or more) out, then that's just another way of saying the spring is shorter. One can actually reset the spring with the same number of coils to a lesser free height and the spring rate will not change. Bloody pedant...... Edit: reread Nark's reply and acknowledged your understanding of Hooke's law is sound. [Updated on: Thu, 01 May 2003 05:27] [Report message to a moderator]
