This tag is for the classical concept of forces, i.e. the quantities causing an acceleration of a body. It expands to the strong/electroweak force only insofar as they act comparable to ‘classical’ forces. Use the [particle-physics] tag for decay channels due to forces and [newtonian-mechanics] or one of the other subtopics of [classical-mechanics] for the dynamics of classical systems.

Equivalent spring equations for non-helical coil shapes?

The mechanics of all spring problems is derived from Hooke's law which models the properties of springs for small changes in length. Even for helical springs this law is a (very good) approximation. Y …

A Lawnmower Problem

Your calculations seem correct... What is unrealistic is the information they give you. For that force you correctly deduce that the horizontal acceleration is $5.8[m/s^{2}]$, which is more than half …
