I have a gate that is 69 inches long and it takes 50 lbs of force to lift at the end of the gate when it is extended at a little over a 90 degree angle. How many foot pounds of torque in a torsion spring will be needed to lift the gate or at least offset the majority of the weight?

Can you tell me what this type of hinge is called? I like how it springs into 1 of 3 positions. I'd like to see other examples but I don't know what to search for. Thanks, Don http://www.laphotopro.com/temp/images/BT-Headset-0001.jpg http://www.laphotopro.com/temp/images/BT-Headset-0002.jpg...

Hi people! I have a real life problem that i can't solve...Im trying to figure out the tangencial speed or angular velocity of a hatch at the moment it is about to close (initially it was closed). The hatch has been accelerating due to gravity. It looks much as a pendulum to me. But, it gets...
