The problem is to find the force acting on the circumference of the disc. There are blades that attach to this disc which make up a rotor blade. The forces shown (in the .jpg ) are those acting upon the blades.

It means per radian. So to calculate the tangential force I would need to angular velocity and then use the formula: Pr=I_oa

Homework Statement Rotor blades attatched to a disc rotate. The rotor blades rotate at a speed of 15574rpm. The blades are 220mm from the centre of the disc. These blades are attatched to a disc that is 400mm in diameter. A force of 8kN/rad acts upon the blades and 600N/rad. (see...
