    Finding the spring constant of a torsion spring.

    Yes, the question is a bit over the place. Im trying to find the spring constant (k) of a bundle of nylon-6 rope. The total diameter of the rope is 6cm roughly. I've twisted the rope bundle 3 full revolutions and have fixed it at equilibrium. The length of this rope bundle spring is...

    Finding the spring constant of a torsion spring.

    Hi, How would I go about finding the spring constant of a bundle of nylon rope acting as a torsion spring? I know the length. I don't know the width of the bundle. When twisted I wanted roughly 6cm diameter (is that a wrong method)? I ll be twisting it by 1080 degrees. When twisted...
