A steel rotor disc of uniform thickness 50mm has an outer rim diameter 800mm and a central hole of diameter 150mm. There are 200 blades each of weight 2N at an effective radius of 420mm pitched evenly around the periphery. Determine the rotational speed at which yielding first occurs according to the maximum shear stress criterion. Yield stress= 750 MPa, ? = 0.304, ? = 7700 kg/m 3
