    Undergrad Spring constants from the physical dimensions of a spring

    I’d like to know if anyone has formulas for calculating the spring constant (k) of coil springs, from their physical dimensions. I bought a coil spring, suspended a 0.6 kg mass to it, observed its oscillation period at very close to 0.6 seconds, and so believed the spring constant “k” to be...
