This problem illustrates that the strength of a machine part can sometimes be measured in units other than those of force or moment. For example, the maximum speed that a flywheel can reach without yielding or fracturing is a measure of its strength. In this problem you have a rotating ring made of hot-forged AISI 1020 steel; the ring has a 6-in inside diameter and a 10-in outside diameter and is 1.5 in thick. What speed in revolutions per minute would cause the ring to yield? At what radius would yielding begin? [Note: The maximum radial stress occurs at r = (rori) 1/2; see Eq. (3–55).]
