Make sure you use the same units for both because different angles will require varying amounts of torque.

Once you've established the force required, you can calculate the hinge's capacity for load by using the formula torque = force multiplied by distance. The majority of hinges with higher quality have higher capacities for load than those of lower quality. This is because the quality of the material and design will affect the strength and durability of the hinges.
