how to calculate req. cyl. force to lift using a 4 way linkage?

how to calculate req. cyl. force to lift using a 4 way linkage?

(OP)
I need to design a lifting mechanism to lift a cover on a new design of one of our machines.  The problem is I need to lift slightly further than a cylinder would travel due to space constraints.  I have the linkage laid out, but I'm not sure how to calculate the force required from the cylinder. I can email a diagram of this to anyone who knows how to calculate it.
Thanks,
Jay Andrews
