Assuming you have a flat poster with no curvature, why is it that when you pin it to the wall (with thumbtacks) it gains curvature as seen in the picture below. When I put the poster up it was entirely flat to the wall with no curvature, but over time it somehow curls and develops this sort of curvature (it looks like positive curvature at the corner).
Is there a physics-based explanation for why this happens?
