I'm trying to work out the angle subtended by the stretching of a conical spring and I have a solution but I'm not 100% sure about it so would appreciate some feedback.
An Archimedes spiral spring is shown above with radii at various points. What I would like to come up with is an equation for the angle that each part of the spring gets stretched by as a function of the radius and the distance from rest $x$. I know that for a normal spiral spring of constant radius $R_{ss}$ if it is stretched by a small amount $dx$ then it will subtend an angle $d\theta$ therefore $$ dx=R_{ss}d\theta \\ \int_0^{x}dx=R_{ss}\int_0^\theta d\theta \\ \therefore \theta=\frac{x}{R_{ss}} $$
For a spiral conical spring with radius $R_{cs}$ that starts at $R_{cs0}$ and grows to $R_{cs1}$ what I did was integrate the radius: $$ dx=dR_{cs}d\theta \\ \int_0^{x}dx=\int_{R_{cs0}}^{R_{cs1}} \int_0^\theta d\theta dR_{cs} \\ \therefore \theta=\frac{x}{R_{cs1}-R_{cs0}} $$ It seems too simple though hence why I would like to check here what the thought is on the solution.
