7.5 The rotor of a stream turbine is a solid disc of uni- form strength and is 20 cm diameter at the blade ring and 2-5 cm thick at the centre. It is running at a constant speed of 30,000 r.p.m. Calculate the thickness of the rotor at a radius of 5 cm. The material density is 7470 kg/m3 and the maximum allowable stress in the rotor is 145 MPa.
