Critical speed is expressed as
(a) rotation of shaft in degrees
(b) rotation of shaft in radians
(c) rotation of shaft in minutes
(d) natural frequency of the shaft
I have been asked this question in an internship interview.
This intriguing question originated from Types of Vibratory Motion and Natural Frequency of Free Longitudinal Vibrations topic in section Longitudinal and Transverse Vibrations of Machine Dynamics
