What would be the maximum stress in the ring under the


A steel ring of 250mm diameter has a width of 50mm nada radial thickness of 5mm. It is split to leave a narrow gap 5mm wide normal to the plane of the ring. Assuming the radial thickness to be small compared with the radius of ring curvature, find the tangential force that must be applied to the edges of the gap to just close it. What would be the maximum stress in the ring under the action of this force? E=200GPa
