STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Compressed Length of Spring = Solid Length of Spring+Total Axial Gap between Coils of Springs
L_c = L+G_A
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Compressed Length of Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Compressed length of spring is the length of spring subjected to maximum load.
Solid Length of Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Solid Length of Spring is defined as the axial length of the spring which is so compressed that the adjacent coils touch each other.
Total Axial Gap between Coils of Springs - (Measured in Meter) - Total Axial Gap between Coils of Springs is the summation of axial gap between two adjacent coils.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Solid Length of Spring: 42 Millimeter --> 0.042 Meter (Check conversion here)
Total Axial Gap between Coils of Springs: 2.5 Millimeter --> 0.0025 Meter (Check conversion here)
