The force-deflection relation of a steel helical spring used in an engine is found experimentally as F( x) = 200 x + 50 x2 + 10 x3, where the force (F) and deflection (x) are measured in pounds and inches, respectively. If the spring undergoes a steady deflection of 0.5 in. during the operation of the engine, determine the equivalent linear spring constant of the spring at its steady deflection.
