A steel shaft of diameter 2.5 cm and length 1 m is supported at the two ends in bearings. It carries a turbine disc, of mass 20 kg and eccentricity 0.005 m, at the middle and operates at 6000 rpm. The damping in the system is equivalent to viscous damping with= 0.01. Determine the whirl amplitude of the disc at (a) operating speed, (b) critical speed, and (c) 1.5 times the critical speed.
