The ratio of the radius of gyration of a solid sphere of mass and radius about its own axis to the radius of gyration of the thin hollow sphere of the same mass and radius about its axis is:
The moment of inertia of a solid sphere of mass and radius about its own axis is . Its radius of gyration .
The moment of inertia of a thin hollow sphere (spherical shell) of mass and radius about its axis is . Its radius of gyration .
The ratio of their radii of gyration is: . Thus, the ratio is .
