Radius of gyration of a disc of mass 5kg about a transverse axis passing through its centre is 14.14cm. Find its radius of gyration about its diameter and hence calculate its moment of inertia about its diameter

Answer»

SOLUTION :Radius of gyration of a disc about a transverse AXIS PASSING through its centre
`K=sqrt((I)/(M))=sqrt((MR^(2))/(2M))=(R )/(sqrt(2))=14.14cm`
`( :. I=(MR^(2))/(2))`
Radius of the disc. `R=14.14xxsqrt(2)=20cm`
Radius of gyration of the disc about its diameter.
`K=sqrt((I)/(M))=sqrt((MR^(2))/(4M))=(R )/(2)=(20)/(2)=10cm`
Moment of INERTIA about its diameter `=(MR^(2))/(4)=(5(0.2)^(2))/(4)=5.00xx10^(-2)kgm^(2)`
