Key Idea : The square root of the ratio of the moment of inertia of a rigid body and its mass is called radius of gyration. As in key idea, radius of gyration is given by K=MI For given problem Kring Kdisc =Iring Idisc But Idisc (about its axis) =21MR2 and Iring (about its axis) =MR2 where R is the radius of both bodies. Therefore, Eq. (i) becomes Kring Kdisc=MR221MR2=1:2
