Question: A stepped round steel shaft for which E = 2 0 0 GPa is supported by two bearings and carrying the flywheel weight W =

A stepped round steel shaft for which E=200GPa is supported by two bearings and carrying
the flywheel weight W=400N. The moment of inertia (21) of the shaft in its central region is twice that of
the moment of inertia ( I ) in the end parts and L=1m,I=0.310-6m4. Calculate the critical speed in rpm .
Note that the weight of the shaft weight is ignored and the bearings act as simple supports.
