I know this has been discussed many times ... but I didn't save it at the time

I need the formulas for wind loading and  on a mast. And the constants for
2" water pipe.

In particualr what is the max wind rating for 2" water pipe 10' high with 5
Sq feet of antenna?

or said another way

How high above the tower can I go with 5 SQ ft of antenna using 2" water
pipe for 85 MPH wind survivability?

Thanks
