Should i consider it as 1 mm/sec^2 ? Than we can convert it into m/s^2:rolleyes:

Hi Thanks for the reply A slider ( weighing 1 to 1.5 kg ) slides into a box type opening against a spring. The slider is pushed upto 10 mm only against the spring by hand feed. Now, i am concerned for the Force harnessed by the mechanism for a distance of 1 mm. As Force = Mass * Acceleration ( & we need to calculate acceleration to calculate the force ) After calculating the Force for 1 mm, i will multiply the force by 10mm(the stroke) so i will be able to calculate the correct force exerted on the spring. I am in the stage of designing the SPRING. Zirok I hope rest is clear.

hI Thanks for the REPLY. The weight of slider is hardly 1.0 to 1.5 kg. It is pushed against a spring (dia 14mm & 28mm length). The stroke of the slider is only 10mm. Thanks Zirok

Hi We all know that Force = Mass * Acceleration The problem to me is that what should be the acceleration when a object is pushed by hand feed ? Thanks Zirok
