Two gas struts with a extended length of 26", compressed length of 16" and a stroke of 10" with a .39" rod and .866" body is being used to hold a door weighing 40 lbs. prior to use, the owner would like to ensure the ball bearings can hold the load of the gas struts closed. The gas strut is a 20 lb compression gas strut, how much force does it take to keep gas strut closed if you were to push straight down in order to compress. Note: The answer is not 20lbs and I need all equations.
