What is radius of gyration? |
| Answer» Radius of gyration of a body about a given axis is the perpendicular distance of a point from the axis, where whole mass of the body were concentrated, the body shall have the same moment of inertia as it has with the actual distribution of mass.\xa0The units for radius of gyration are length (that is millimeters or inches or feet). It is the square root of the moment of inertia I divided by the area A, (I/A)0.5. I is length4, A is length2, (I/A)0.5 being simply length. | |
