Scientific paper

A thin fiber or sheet curled into a circular container has a detached region whose shape and force ratios are independent of material properties and container radius. We compute this shape and compare it with experiments. The discrete forces acting at either end of the detached region have a ratio that depends only on the length of the fiber or sheet relative to the circle radius. We calculate this force ratio in three regimes of circle radius.
