Question:

A cast-iron flywheel has a rim whose OD is 60 in and whose ID is 56 in. The flywheel weight is to be such that an energy fluctuation of 5000 ft ?lbf will cause the angular speed to vary no more than 240 to 260 rev/min. Estimate the coefficient of speed fluctuation. If the weight of the spokes is neglected, what should be the width of the rim?
