25. If the long ribbon is pinned to the substrate at points with a distance larger than the ribbon's equilibrium length, the lowest-energy deformation will have uniaxial stretching; if the long ribbon is pinned to the substrate at points with a distance smaller than the ribbon's equilibrium length, the lowest-energy deformation will have pure bending.
