Correct answer: 5
- Formula for radius of gyration
For a thin rod of length , about an axis perpendicular to its length and passing through its center, the moment of inertia is
Radius of gyration is defined by
So,
- Substitute the given length
Given,
Therefore,
- Final answer
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer =
My derived answer is also , so they agree.
