RE: calculate beam spring rate
Work out the deflection at the point of load application then divide by the deflection.

RE: calculate beam spring rate
I assume you mean divide the load force by the worked out deflection
RE: calculate beam spring rate
Yes in a nutshell however you need the deflection directly under the load your applying

You will have to work out the SS beam deflection as desertfox indicated.
