Concept:

The radius of gyration about the polar axis is given by:

\( k = \sqrt{\frac{J}{A}} \)

For a circular lamina:

  • Polar moment of inertia, \( J = \frac{\pi R^4}{2} \)
  • Area, \( A = \pi R^2 \)

Calculation:

\( k = \sqrt{\frac{\pi R^4 / 2}{\pi R^2}} = \sqrt{\frac{R^2}{2}} = \frac{R}{\sqrt{2}} \)

\( k = \frac{0.2}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.141~\text{m} \approx 0.14~\text{m} \)
