A spring is formed by bending a wire into a flat spiral as shown in Figure P5.22. The wire has diameter d and the radial spacing between loops is 5d. A load P, which is normal to the plane of the spring and concentric with the center of the spiral, is applied slowly to deform the spring. Determine the stiffness of the spring in its undeformed configuration.
