I vaguely remember covering lines of force in arches & catenaries in AS / A level maths

This looks like it might help:

Lucky, sounds like fun. Even in our higher mechanics course (M4 OCR) we don't cover anything like that I think.
Closest we've come was some extension showing how the cosh curve (reversed catenary) was in lowest energy state (as if hung).
And that was way off piste.

Thanks for the link guys.
