Show that the square of the radius of gyration of a hollow cylinder is twice that a solid cylinder having the same radius for rotation about the respective cylinder axis.

Answer»

Solution :For rotation about the cylinder axis moments of INERTIA of
(1) a thin HOLLOW cylinder, `I_(HC)=Mk_(HC)^2=MR^2`
(2) a solid cylinder, `I_(SC)=Mk_(SC)^2=1/2MR^2`
`therefore k_(HC)^2=R^2=2k_(SC)^2`
