It's not that nobody knows. It can be calculated providing every single dimension, weight, size, eccentricity, wind load, slew speed, founding conditons, acceptable deflection limits etc are all quoted. It can all be modelled and analysed using very simple priciples and software. The problem is noone ever provides all the information, and all of the different combinations are almost infinitely variable and consequently so are the results.
