Say that I have a branch, composed of unbending segments, but bending joints.
The branch forks in any pattern.
How do I calculate how the branch bends under its own weight?
I can't even calculate how a single segment bends under its own weight, I get stuck at angle/cos(angle) = weight * length/2 * k (where k is the spring constant of the branch joint)

Well, could someone at least tell me how to calculate how a single segment bends under its own weight?
Assuming it bends only at the joint between it and the wall, I can't do curved segments for the simulation I'm doing.
I'll help you out OP.
The bending of one segment is trivial. As for the first segment bending, I'll leave that as a problem for the reader. Now just repeat those steps for every branch.
>/sci/ can't even solve a small bit of algebra
Reeeeeeee I really want to run a simulation but it needs that algebra
