Critical speed — Simply supported, distributed mass

Critical speed of a simply supported shaft. The mass of the shaft itself is treated as distributed along its length, so enter the total mass of the shaft. The second moment of area is found from the shaft diameter and Young's modulus, and the first-mode critical speed is calculated.
