[@nathanlebell9353]

Answered my question exactly!!! Thx so much

[@RedlineStands]

Thanks Nathan. When I take the time to do videos like this, and they get such low views, about the only reason I keep taking the time do this stuff is because folks like yourself let me know that it helps them and appreciate the content.

Thanks so much for this. The trunk hinge situation has been a thorn for me. I have the EMS billet hinges and my struts are so strong they lift the deck lid at the front edge so I need to redo my geometry. This helps.

Glad to help!

Great video! Quick question. Is the math the same if it’s going from let’s say 3 o’clock to 6 o’clock? I would like to place two for a piano upper panel that swings out on an upright piano but doesn’t stay up.

Hard to say without seeing a drawing. Generally speaking though, as soon as you start throwing angles into the equation, things change.

Showing once again, mathematics is important. Even if you have Google, you still have to understand how you get to the answer.

But it's not a 10lb weight at 32in, it's total weight is 10lb I agree but 10lb at 32in is like having a 10lb weight at the end of a 32in rod. Or am I missing the obvious
