Thanks Einstein, i did!



It is not my definition, but a spring needs to exert constant tension throughout, as in it acts as one solid force, and it has a mechanical function, slinkys do not fit this definition.

Claiming Slinkys are springs is like claiming a bowl of jello is an ice cube because both are made with cold water.

Because constant tension does not apply to all spring types. There are four main types of springs (which I already pointed out in this thread), and constant-tension is only one of those types, and does not apply to other types (compression, extension, and torsion). An actual constant-tension spring is generally a thin sheet metal that is wrapped around a cylinder, with one end attached to the cylinder, and the other end attached to a loading force.

This is an example of what a constant-tension spring looks like:

is it a double down when u do it 13 times in a row without actually adhering to your own definitions? :rofl:

Semantics.

i'm sorry semantics doesnt have a mechanical function so i cant accept this post as correct.
