Distribution of force around sufrace of a drum.

(OP)
Hi guys, this is pretty simple but is not my field.

I have a drum with a taught rope over it. The rope has tension, T and a wrap angle of theta degrees. It is a static problem. What is the distribution of force on the surface of the drum over the wrap angle theta, as a function of theta? The wrap angle wont be 180° it will be about 140°.

Thanks so much in advance, Chris.
