Question

A ring of mass m, radius R, cross-sectional area a and Young's modulus Y is kept on a smooth cone of radius 2R and semi-vertical angle 45°, as shown in the figure. Assume that the extension in the ring is small.

The extension in the ring will be mgRaY

The tension in the ring will be same throughout.

Elastic potential energy stored in the ring will be m2g2R8πYa

The tension in the ring will be independent of the radius of ring if radius of the ring is less than 2R.

2T(θ/2) = N cos 45°
⇒ T = mg/2π
Δℓ=T(2πR)aY
