The ratio of the radii of gyration of a circular disc to that of a circular ring, each of the same mass and radius, around their respective axes is:
The radius of gyration of a body of mass and moment of inertia is given by .
For a circular disc of mass and radius about its respective axis (passing through the centre and perpendicular to its plane), the moment of inertia is . Its radius of gyration is .
For a circular ring of mass and radius about its respective axis, the moment of inertia is . Its radius of gyration is .
The ratio of the radii of gyration is: .
