Force Applied by Coil Spring Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Force Coil spring = Coil Spring Stiffness*Maximum Compression in Spring
F_coil = k*x
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Force Coil spring - (Measured in Newton) - Force Coil spring is the amount of constant force it takes a coil compression spring to compress down to a loaded height.
Coil Spring Stiffness - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Coil Spring Stiffness is the tightness of the spring's coils.
Maximum Compression in Spring - (Measured in Meter) - Maximum compression in spring of coil type is the resistance to a force tending to compress the spring.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coil Spring Stiffness: 100 Newton per Meter --> 100 Newton per Meter No Conversion Required
Maximum Compression in Spring: 150 Millimeter --> 0.15 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_coil = k*x --> 100*0.15

Evaluating ... ...

F_coil = 15

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

15 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

15 Newton <-- Force Coil spring

Wheel Base of Vehicle given COG Position from Rear Axle

Go Wheelbase of Vehicle = Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle/(Mass on Front Axle/Mass of Vehicle)

Centre of Gravity Position Distance from Front Wheels

Go Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Front Axle = (Mass on Rear Axle*Wheelbase of Vehicle)/Mass of Vehicle

Centre of Gravity Position Distance from Rear Wheels

Go Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle = (Mass on Front Axle*Wheelbase of Vehicle)/Mass of Vehicle

Mass on front axle given position of COG

Go Mass on Front Axle = Horizontal Distance of C.G. from Rear Axle/(Wheelbase of Vehicle/Mass of Vehicle)

Force Applied by Coil Spring

Go Force Coil spring = Coil Spring Stiffness*Maximum Compression in Spring

Installation Ratio given Motion Ratio

Go Installation Ratio = sqrt(Motion Ratio in Suspension)

Motion Ratio given Installation Ratio

Go Motion Ratio in Suspension = Installation Ratio^2

Force Applied by Coil Spring Formula

Force Coil spring = Coil Spring Stiffness*Maximum Compression in Spring
F_coil = k*x

What is Spring Rate?

The spring constant or spring rate “R” depends on the material and the design of the spring. With increasing thickness or a tighter winding of the wire used, the spring constant of a helical spring increases.
