@drkhateeb
In the following use your own dimensions, this is just one way to convey the method to achieve the objective. The actual dimensions used in this example can be better viewed by tapping on an the image to expand.

Sketch the Diameter of the Material to be used to create the Spring, Sketch a Vertical Line about which to Revolve the Circle created:

Use Tools > Revolve to create the Diameter of the Coil Spring and then give it the required height by typing in the appropriate dimension:

Sketch a Circle that passes through the Coil Axis as shown. Use Transform > Move/Rotate > and drag the Pivot Point to the centre of the. Circle:

Ensure that the :heavy_plus_sign: Icon is Selected and drag to create the first Copy, then the second Copy and so on:
