Question: The spring constant for a helical coil spring is predicted by: where G is the material modulus, d is the wire diameter, D is the

The spring constant for a helical coil spring is predicted by:
where G is the material modulus, d is the wire diameter, D is the mean diameter of the coil and na is the number of coils.
Assume the following spring properties and measurements.
G =74 kN/mm2 d =1700 microns
OD =29 mm na =74 coils
Also assume that each of the above properties and measurements have an error or uncertainty of 3.8%.
Use the High-Low method to estimate the error or uncertainty in the prediction of the sprig constant, Ep in N/m.
Recall the coil mean diameter D is slightly different from the outside coil diameter OD. Report the result with at least 3 significant figures.
