Let the tension in the ring be T. Consider a small element on the circumfurence of the ring making an angle at the centre. Make the free body diagram of this element. The tension forces are tangential to this element. You can easily check that the net inward force on the element is . Equate this to the centrepetal force on the element and you'll get T.

If there is friction, the tension won't be uniform on the ring. The increment in tension across an element will equal the frictional force. The procedure is similar to the first part.

All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.
