The radius of gyration of a body about an axis at a distance of `12cm` from its centre of mass is `13cm`. Find its radius of gyration about a parallel axis through its centre of mass.

Answer» By parallel axes theoram
`M(13)^(2)=I_(0)+M(12)^(2)`
`I_(0)=M(13^(2)-12^(2))=M(25)`
Its radius of gyration about a parallel axes through its centre of mass `K=sqrt((I_(0))/M)=sqrt(25)=5 cm`
