I have a question about compression springs. What is the formula for the stress generated when a compression spring is pulled in the opposite direction? Will the spring constant be the same in that case?

Thank you for writing to us, Sato!
For the stress calculation formula for extension coil springs, please refer to the link below!

In addition, the spring constant is the same.
