A really hard math problem :p

How do you convert the measurement of 10k (regarding spring rates) to US measurements (lbs)?

I tried for a little bit yesterday, but I couldn't figure it out for the life of me

Multiply by 56.

10k x 56 = 560lb springs.

Works every time.

heh, easier than I thought.

One more question. What is 10k representative of? Kg/M or what?
