39. A shaft has an attached disc at the center of its length. The disc has its center of gravity located at a distance of 2 mm from the axis of the shaft. When the shaft is allowed to vibrate in its natural bow-shaped mode, it has a frequency of vibration of 10 rad/s. When the shaft is rotated at 300 r.p.m., it will whirl with a radius of

B. 2.22 mm
C. 2.50 mm
D. 3.0 mm

Correct Answer: B. 2.22 mm
