Tension in a spring that's bent into a semicircle

[QUOTE="haruspex, post: 6854480, member: 334404"] Not quite. As you note, that is only for the most stretched arc through the spring. What would it be on average? Bear in mind the circular nature of each coil of the spring. The next step would be to consider moments. Having found the effective tension in the spring, think of the spring as two rigid quadrants hinged by a single coil of the spring. Take the balance of moments about the innermost point of that coil.
