Default Gas Springs

I am installing the accy/cargo doors on my toter and need to install some gas springs to assist in opening and holding the doors open. Is there some formula to determine what size springs are required? As an example,my generator door is 54" wide,26" tall and weighs 34 lbs. The door will swing approx. 140 degree's. Each door will have two gas springs. Any input would be appreciated. I don't want to reinvent the wheel and experimenting can get expensive. MMM
