Hi. I have a door mounted on 2 hinges, aligned on a vertical axis. The hinge shafts run in flanged plain bushes.
I'm trying to work out what forces the flanged bushes will see. The door weighs 100Kg, with the centre of mass at the centre of the door. The door is 2m wide and 2m vertically between hinges.
I think that the flanges will see the mass of the door, i.e. each flange sees 500N.
The bushes will also see radial forces, counteracting the moment of the door about the hinges. Based on the moment and geometry, will the top bush see 1000N and the lower bush -1000N?
