I understand now that it’s part of the calculation parameters. Are you solving for omega to find some sort of limiting angular velocity that will keep you under the allowable stress for your material? Dunno if this will show up in the link, but the rules of thumb book for Mechanical Engineers book from Google Books has some useful formulas for the disk calculation: > **[Rules of Thumb for Mechanical Engineers](https://books.google.com/books?id=yNHuleaCMOkC&pg=PA312&lpg=PA312&dq=tangential%2Bstress%2Bequation%2Brotating%2Bdisc&source=bl&ots=p_1C0sdlWa&sig=NPxw8hcLhu0FL9abr7vAFBSYiTY&hl=en&ei=nQ7LSfvcB9_elQeYleDMCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result)** > > Save time with this collection of straightforward, common-sense techniques that provide quick, accurate solutions to your engineering problems.
