The moment of inertia of a flywheel is 6500 kg-m^2, from the turning moment diagram, it is found that fluctuation of energy is 56000 N-m, if mean speed is 120 rpm, then find maximum speed.

(a) 121

(b) 119

(c) 122

(d) 118

This question was addressed to me in an interview.

My enquiry is from Coefficient of Fluctuation of Speed in chapter Turning Moment Diagrams and Flywheel of Machine Dynamics

Right option is (a) 121

To explain: We know that ΔE= I ω^2. Cs

= I ω. (ω1-ω2)

= 6500. 120x(2π/60)^2( N1– N2)

 N1– N2 = 2

N=120

Therefore, N1=121.
