The ratio of the radius of gyration of a thin uniform disc about an axis passing through its centre and normal to its plane to the radius of gyration of the disc about its diameter is:
Let the mass of the thin uniform disc be and its radius be . The moment of inertia of the disc about an axis passing through its centre and perpendicular to its plane is . If is the corresponding radius of gyration, then . The moment of inertia of the disc about its diameter is . If is the corresponding radius of gyration, then . The ratio of their radii of gyration is: .
