SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the radial and axial stresses in a rotating thin ring, specifically addressing why these stresses are null. It is established that the only stresses present are compressional stresses due to atmospheric pressure, which remain consistent throughout the thickness of the ring due to its thinness. This understanding is crucial for analyzing stress distribution in thin-walled structures under rotation.
