It´s from volume one, page forty/fortyone, depending on the edition. The constriction of the weak spots before breaking is nicely visible in the second picture. Please also appreciate how in the third picture, the puling force results in the broken endings of the ring, being not only pulled apart but also to the outside by the resulting force vectors. Here is the full sequence, with the fourth panel showing the realistic deformation of the ring after breaking and then being pulled apart by the acting force:
