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 by calculating what the force on the top hinge is gives me this then that would be great, it doesn't have to be too accurate, just so I can get some rough idea of what the force will be.
Door leaf: 1.2M wide x 2.4M high = total 2.88M2
Weight: 20kg / M2, so 57.6kg in total
I have been trying to upload a photo of a typical door, but it keeps saing its too big so will try to add something after this first post.
Many thanks
