This document contains 8 problems related to mechanics of materials and deflections of curved beams and rings. Problem 1 asks to determine the required outward tangential forces to open a split ring by a given amount. Problem 2 gives an expression for the deflection of a U-shaped pipe due to forces applied at the ends. Problem 3 asks for the horizontal and vertical displacements of the end of a quarter circular curved member.

necessary to apply outward tangential forces F at the split to open up a gap . If the flexure stiffness
of the cross-section is EI, determine the required value of the forces.
