This question and response on bicycles.se has me wondering how to find the answer mathematically.

Finding the balance between the tensile strength of a wheel spoke, and the number of spokes required to support the wheel is the point. I have no idea where to start. This is not really homework, just interesting to me personally.

Can you help?

    Feel free to migrate to physics if necessary. I'm not sure where the best place for this question is, and I didn't want to post in multiple places.2011-12-21
