Coil Spring Diagram - Tension vs Compression Mechanics #1838204 (License: Personal Use)

The image displays two identical helical coil springs rendered in black line art against a white background. The top spring is stretched horizontally, illustrating tension with wider spacing between coils, while the bottom spring is compressed, showing tighter coil spacing and reduced overall length. This schematic clearly contrasts how springs respond mechanically to opposing forces.
