Pitch of Coil Spring Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Pitch of Coil Spring?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

p = \frac{L f}{N t - 1}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

p = \frac{200mm}{12 - 1}

Next Step Convert Units

∴

p = \frac{0.2m}{12 - 1}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

p = \frac{0.2}{12 - 1}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

p = 0.0181818181818182m

Next Step Convert to Output's Unit

∴

p = 18.1818181818182mm

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

p = 18.1818mm
