Limiting Velocity of Steel Ring

The document provides the equations to calculate the limiting peripheral velocity of a rotating steel ring based on allowable stress and material properties. It then uses the given information about a steel ring with a mean radius of 10 inches to calculate: 1) The limiting peripheral velocity is 435.04 feet/second when the allowable stress is 20 ksi. 2) If the stress increases to 30 ksi, the revolutions per minute required is 6,105.54 rpm.
