If you have a linear coil spring of say 140lbs. It takes 140lbs to deflect it 1 inch. Question. How many lbs to deflect it 2 inches ?
I thought i’d Got my head around Peters Ballards explanatory write up on GoMoG. Now thanks to this thread I am not so sure.
Part of the confusion comes from people (not just you) being a bit sloppy in their use of terminology.
A "140 lb" spring is actually a "140lb/inch" spring. For every inch of deflection requires a force of 140lb. So 140 lb will compress it 1 inch, 280lb will compress it 2 inches, and so on.
