Thanks for the responses!,
I should have also said, the assumed pole's density is 7800Kgm^3 so its not at risk of buckling under its own weight, and assumed elastic modlus 2x10^11 (trying to keep it simple). I'll download Strand7 and see if i can get it on there

Laser cutting gives a much cleaner cut edge, its more precise and is much less maintenance than water jets.
So for something this small laser cutting is probably the better option
Hi all,
I need to calculate the first natural frequency of a one-step cantilever pole (in my case a 9m pole which will have a windsock but that is ignored for this calculation). I've made the assumption that the lower 3m has a diameter of 15cm and the upper 6m a diameter of 10cm. I know I can...
