Thanks for the response, to try to keep this simple, if the hinge was a continuous one then what be the force at the top acting on the partition, it's just like a sign sticking out of the wall then.

Please can one of you bright people help me, I am not very good at maths and would appreciate a line by line answer so I can copy it onto a spread sheet and use it in the future. What I am trying to work out is what force will be excerted on a partition when a door is open at 90 degrees. If...

Okay, so A = 2 m2 Force = A (delta)p Force = 2 x 60 Force = 120Pa If 10 Pascals is equivalent of 1Kg of force /M2 Force = 12Kg (to open door - exluding application of second class lever)

Guys, thanks for all your help so far, but I am still unsure what the force to open my door is. Could one of you spell it out for me in very simple terms and do the calculation so I can see what the answer is and how to do it. Thanks

Please can one of you brainy people out there help me. I need to work out the force to open a door when there is a 60pascal pressure acting against it. The size of the door is 1000mm wide x 2000mm high. The differential Pressure is 60 pascals The handle is 70mm away from the leading edge...
