The spring force F and displacement x for a close-wound tension spring arc measured as shown in Fig. P1.3.
The spring force F and displacement x satisfy the linear equation
(a) Using the given data, find the equation of the line for the spring force F as a function of the displacement x, and determine the values of the spring constant k and preload Fi.
(b) Sketch the graph of F as a function of x and dearly indicate both the spring constant k and preload Fi.
