Let the moment of inertia of a hollow cylinder of length 30 cm (inner radius 10 cm and outer radius 20 cm ) , about its axis be I . The radius of a thin cylinder of the same mass such that its moment of inertia about its axis is also I, is :
16 cm
18 cm
14 cm
12 cm
Radius of gyration (K) -
Radius of Gyration of a body about an axis is the effective distance from the axis where the whole mass can be assumed to be concentrated so that moment of inertia remains the same.
