Variables Used

Spring Index - Spring Index is defined as the ratio of mean coil diameter of the spring to the diameter of the spring Wire.
Mean Shear Stress in Spring - (Measured in Pascal) - Mean Shear Stress in Spring is defined as the amount of mean stress acting when spring is subjected to fluctuating stress.
Diameter of Spring Wire - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter of Spring Wire is the diameter of the wire of which a spring is made.
Shear Stress Correction Factor of Spring - Shear Stress Correction Factor of Spring is for comparing the strain energies of the average shear stresses with those obtained from the equilibrium.
Mean Spring Force - (Measured in Newton) - Mean Spring Force is defined as the average of the maximum force and the minimum force of the fluctuating forces on the spring or by the spring.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mean Shear Stress in Spring: 156 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 156000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Diameter of Spring Wire: 4.004738 Millimeter --> 0.004004738 Meter (Check conversion here)
Shear Stress Correction Factor of Spring: 1.08 --> No Conversion Required
Mean Spring Force: 101.2 Newton --> 101.2 Newton No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C = σ_m*(pi*d^2)/(8*K_s*P_m) --> 156000000*(pi*0.004004738^2)/(8*1.08*101.2)

Evaluating ... ...

C = 8.9893529703057

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

8.9893529703057 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

8.9893529703057 ≈ 8.989353 <-- Spring Index
