    Gas Strut Force Calculation

    Uploaded by

    The document provides formulas for calculating the forces exerted by gas struts in both the extended and compressed positions. The extended force (Fe) is calculated as the load multiplied by 9.81, the distance from the center of gravity to the hinge (C) multiplied by 1.1, divided by the distance from the gas strut to the hinge (D) multiplied by the number of struts (N). The compressed force (Fc) is calculated in the same way except the factor multiplied with C is 0.9 instead of 1.1. Variables such as the door length, load weight, and distances C and D are required for the calculations.
