the post is not leaning, we can assume this is vertical, the sag will be due to joint strength etc.
Would the weight be carried equally on both sides? I was thinking that since the hinged side is fixed, this would then become a question of torque and the resultant vertical component?
I am installing a garden gate at the back of my house.
The length (L) of the gate is 1.7m and the mass is 62.6kg, there are 2 hinges positioned 1.3m apart.
The gate has an inherent sag, such that, the bottom corner on the unhinged side is 5cm lower than the corner on the hinged side.
