What is physical significance of radius of gyration
Answers
Answer:
Radius of gyration is defined as the distance from the axis of rotation to a point where total mass of the body is supposed to be concentrated. 1. It the particles of body are distributed lose to axis of rotation,the radius gyration is less.Oct 15, 2019
Answer:
Radius of gyration or gyradius of a body about an axis of rotation is defined as the radial distance of a point ,from the axis of rotation at which, if whole mass of the body is assumed to be concentrated, its moment of inertia about the given axis would be the same as with its actual distribution of mass.
The radius of gyration is used to compare how various structural shapes will behave under compression along an axis. It is used to predict buckling in a compression beam or member.
