I wonder if a system of smaller dia. pipe, welded in a truss fashion, might be more rigid than a single, larger dia. pipe?

I noticed that one of the manufacturers Zep linked to uses a cable system to support the outboard end.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
